HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic .
The medication advised for you for your Typhoid fever is correct . The duration of antibiotic course for Typhoid is 5-14 days . It depends on the Physician assessment on how long he wants to give the antibiotic course .
Just because he has extended your antibiotic course for 3 days doesn't mean he is wrong or something is wrong with you . It just means he wants to be sure that Typhoid is eliminated from your body . Continue medications as per his advise .
Following Typhoid infections I don't recommend Typhoid Vaccine . You can just be more cautious in your food and water intake .
Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask. Happy to help you. Regards.
