Could Suffering From Fever Be A Sign Of Recurrence Of Typhoid?
Hi Dr,
I was diagnosed for typhoid 25 days back and i was in full rest for about 3 weeks. And it has been a week i feel very normal. But for past 2 two days i feel feverish during evening. And my doubt is whether it is due to my past +ve typhoid effect Or it is re-occurrening?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Typhoid if treated properly doesn't reoccur.
However, the antibodies may persist for long.
It might not be related to typhoid.
You can have a viral fever or any other infection leading to fever.
If your fever is low grade just take Tablet Paracetamol as on when required basis.
But if it is high, get investigated.
You can get positive typhoid test, even now.
This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy
