What Causes Recurrent Typhoid And How Can It Be Cured?
According to the doctors and test reports, I am suffering from typhoid and malaria. I have been trated many times. After hospitalization and treatment typhoid is cured. But again and again I am getting typhoid. Doctors are not able to cure it completely. What could be the reason? Is this typhoid or something else?

Hello
You are having malaria ( treated ) and typhoid ( treated ) .
Typhoid is recurring in spite of treatment , may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Untreated or resistant salmonella ( 4 strain for typhoid fever ) . Get in blood culture and drug sensitivity test to find out exact nature of drug required .
2 Since you are claiming that this is typhoid . This fever may be due to other reasons like virus , tuberculosis or any other type of disease .
You didn't mention symptoms or don't attach any test reports , so it is very difficult to establish any diagnosis merely on the basis of this query.
So either attach all reports ( upload ) and also write down various symptoms OR consult another physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
