Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, there can be several causes which should get evaluated.

Kindly follow up with few more details,
Do you have abdominal pain, loose motion, blood in stools?

For further assessment, I would suggest you to consult with gastroenterologist for detailed clinical examination.

He may procure complete hemogram, stool analysis, widal test for typhoid, ultrasound abdomen as per evaluation to rule out any other possibilities for typhoid /other intestinal infections.

Further treatment/antibiotics mainly depends upon the underlying conditions/laboratory reports.

Till then you can take probiotic available over the counter. In case of loose motion, you can take tablet loperamide 2 mg after every loose motion upto maximum 12 mg/day. Keep yourself hydrated. Take soft diet.

Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
