Typhoid needs to be treated with antibiotics, which I suppose you are receiving. However, repeated episodes of Typhoid means you could be harboring the bacteria in your body post your infection each time (carrier state). You need to be treated for carrier state too to prevent getting Typhoid again. Wait until this course of antibiotics is complete. If it doesn't improve, switch to Ceftriaxone IV injections. Follow it up with Cefixime tabs for a week to prevent carrier state.
