Hi and thanks for this query.

Typhoid is a water borne disease. Having recurrent typhoid means your source of water is not always the best. Try to drink potable water always. If this is not possible you can always treat water at home by boiling, ,adding recommended drops of chlorine, etc. This is the only thing that would ensure you do not get typhoid once again treated. the recommended and most widely used drug for typhoid fever is ciprofloxacine 500mg to be taken twice day for 10-14days. Talk to your doctor and hear what the local preferences are.

I wish you well.
