What Is The Cause For Recurrent Paratyphi Bacteria?

I have recurrent paratyphi bacteria (BH, O), every few months (tretament with doxylina dn ciprofloxacin). Does it mean that it remains in my system and then gets activated whenever my immunity is low or that I get infected each time from an external source? Thank you

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

It could be either way . In your case I think it has remained in your system due to improper treatment . Doxy is not a antibiotic of choice for paratyphi infection and these days there is lot of resistence to Ciplox .

So I feel your infection is not treated properly and hence it is recurring.Also the duration of treatment plays a significant role in curing infection.
My antibiotic of choice of choice for Paratyphi infection is Cefixime with Oflox combination . Kindly ask your doctor for this prescriuption and use it for 7 days .

Also drink hot water, Avoid Non veg and oily food .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
