How Long Does Typhoid Remain In System And Its Recurrence?
a friend contracted typhoid on a trip in December to Singapore. He was treated with antibiotics, and occassionally suffers from lethargy. Also, he has experienced significant weight gain. Might either of these be related to typhoid? How long does typhoid remain in system? Can it recur?
Hello, Lethargy would go away soon. Take more of fresh fruits,green vegetables,nuts ,fish and eggs. Weight gain is because of no activity. Get tested for thyroid also. A poorly treated or incomplete treatment with antibiotics can cause relapse of typhoid.typhoid can reside in gall bladder of a person. Thanks
