General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Developing typhoid during pregnancy is quite a concern. And getting Widal test positive even after treatment with antibiotics is still more concern.
It appears that she needs to get her blood culture and sensitivity done as the antibiotics administered has shown resistance for the drug used. So she has not been cured of the disease completely.
With the blood culture report, she needs to visit a Physician, who could help her in administering the appropriate antibiotics.
Hope the information provided is clear.
Take care and best wishes.
