Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
If fever comes back again after getting treated for typhoid fever, it certainly needs to be evaluated and treated with care. This is because, certain strains of bacteria could be resistant and can strike back with vengeance, which can land you in dreadful complications.
Hence, you need to be admitted and investigated throughly so that proper treatment can be instituted.
Taking Calpol (Paracetamol) medication would not suffice if there is relapse of typhoid.
Kindly consult Physician in this regard for further management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
