What Are The Symptoms Of Typhoid?
Typhoid carriers colonize bacteria and frequent relapse
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I wish to say that Widal test (O and H titres) has no relevance during relapses of typhoid fever. I wish to know if stool or blood culture was done during the episodes. It is important to take the medicine for a minimum of 15 days without fail. Have you taken the antibiotic for 15 days during first episode? Sometimes typhoid carriers (S.Typhi bacteria colonizes in human small bowel for years called carriers) needs prolonged treatment up to a month to two months till the cultures are normal. These carriers keep shedding the bacteria through food, water and gets infected again and again. However it very unusual to have relapses if you have already taken the antibiotic for more than 15 days.
Also please check where you eat food and drink water? Is that source of typhoid infection?.
The next step for you is to under blood cultures. Meet an Internal medicine MD doctor who can explain you about typhoid. Keep temperature record, weight record and all the complaints you have. Again as I said the counts O and H titres may not be relevant all the time.
For time being you should use antispasmodic medicines for stomach pain relief such as Mefenamic acid, spasmoproxyvon.
Hope this gives you a good insight about the disease.
