Hello, thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your doctor I suggesting you that salmonella is very notorious for causing relapsr. Yes for now you can start with ciprofloxacin to get cured from salmonella. In long relapse cases some doctor suggest elective cholecystectomy. Gall bladder is the reservoir of the salmonella, so once it is removed it will be cured forever. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
