What Precautions Should Be Taken In A Child After Typhoid Fever?
Hi I and my son ( 4 years) travelled to india and are back in US now. My son had typhoid fever in india and is been treated. He finished the 14 days course of medication and has no symptoms. Now we are back to US. What precautions should i take regarding his diet now? should i have his blood tested again to make sure he is completely treated? Should i discuss this with his pediatrician?

Hello,
As your child took antibiotic for a full 14 days course, no need to panic. You may go for lab test as Widal test TLC, DLC, CRP, etc.
Give him a bland diet. If he is not having a fever or any weakness then you need not worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
