Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My ( 4 years) son had typhoid fever and is been treated. He finished the 14 days course of medication and has no symptoms. What precautions should i take regarding his diet now? should i have his blood tested again to make sure he is completely treated? Should i discuss this with his pediatrician?

Hi. Welcome To HealthcareMagic
If the antibiotic course is finished, and the child has no fever, you do not need to repeat ant tests. If there is still fever, you need to repeat the widal titers and blood culture and may have to change the antibiotics.
Regarding diet, you can initially use bland diet. less spicy diet. Afterwards, you can resume normal diet as he/she tolerates.
