Hi,
Presence of typhoid bacteria for long time in intestine or not taken complete treatment for typhoid will lead to recurrence of typhoid.
This time after completion of treatment go for typhoid vaccine after consulting your doctor.
You may repeat this vaccine afterwards as your doctor advised.
Avoid taking food water from outside.
Ok and take care.
