How Long Will It Take To Completely Recover From Typhoid?
My sister has got Typhoid of type H 1:80 and type 0 1:160. She was treated in the hospital for 4 days . Now she has been discharged . But my query is how many days would it take for her to be completely alright ? Also after 15 days we plan to go to my uncle's place where my 2 year old cousin stays . Is it safe for my cousin if my sis stays with them after 15 days ?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
We usually treat typhoid fever for 7 days. In very severe cases we treat up to 14 days.
Since she was admitted and treated in hospital, so i suppose that she must have received injectables for treatment of typhoid.
If her fever has subsided and she is feeling well, there is nothing to worry.
She can go and play happily with your 2 year old cousin, no issues in that :-)
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
