ideally enteric fever should be treated for a period of 10-14 days.....u have to repeat widal test to c if the titers are falling or otherwise continue tablets.......other reasons could be mutidrug resistant enteric fever which could only be recognised by taking a blood culture........then u got to switch over to other drug or other mode of treatment (IV drugs) for complete cure.
