Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You might have sub clinical typhoid fever. It is nothing but a variant of typhoid fever where the symptoms are minimal. You can take appropriate antibiotics according to protocol to tackle the illness. The complications are less in sub clinical conditions.

Hope I have answered your query.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
