YES ANUJ
Typhoid most of the times recurs if the full regimen of the antibiotics are not followed.
IgM positivity suggests there is active infection inside your body, and weak positivity of IgG indicates you had also been infected earlier.
You are hereby advised to have a Widal tube agglutination test with different ratio of antigens performed to see the actual titre of the antibodies in blood.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
