Dear XXXXXXX
I am sorry to hear your son is not well. You said your son had test for typhoid afrer treatment. Can you please tell me what sort of test your son had for typhoid ihas he had blood culture/ stool culture for typhoid or serological testknown as widal test. If widal test is positive it got to be repeated again. If that shows increased in titre then your son still got Typhoid but if unchanged or titre gets lower
he is okay.
If clinically he got no fever and otherwise normal I would not worry about.
Kindest regards
Dr. S.K.Mukherjee
