Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Relapse (reoccurrence of fever) is a frequently seen problem with Typhoid fever.

But the child needs complete physical examination and investigations like widal test to look for increasing titers of antibodies to confirm it a relapse.

If it is confirmed the relapse again IV antibiotics have to be continued for an appropriate duration.

And child needs other investigations like CBP,CUE, Malarial parasite to look for the other causes of fever.

So consult your Pediatrician for examination, investigations, and for appropriate treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
