How Can Recurring Typhoid Infection Be Treated?

Doctors, please I was diagnosed of having typhoid fever on the 14th of October 2016 and I was given cipro through intravenous. I feel better than yesterday. The typhoid has been reoccurring for about 25 years now. Doctors, can typhoid fever be cured completely?

Hi,

Typhoid fever generally needs ten to fifteen days of antibiotics. With this, it is most of the times cured. However, a few times the infection may get a carrier state that may need one-month treatment however variety state does not cause symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
