Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Many a times typhoid infection can be caused by resistant bacteria to the routine drugs. I think same for you. As the bacteria is not abolished completely by the drugs the fever is recurr.

I advice you should do blood and stool culture and sensitivity testing. This will guide us regarding the antibiotics to be used.

If this infection is not treated completely it will recur. So complete and adequate treatment is necessary.

Please control on diet properly. Do not eat single heavy meal and take small frequent meal. This can help you in avoiding acidity and also in prevention of perforation of ulcer caused by typhoid bacteria.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
