What Causes Recurring Fever While Recovering From Typhoid?
Hi ! I am in the third week of typhoid fever and i am through with the 2 weeks course of antibiotics. However,still i get fever of 100-101 C. Fever goes down to 97-98 C after taking anti pyretics but after 12 hours it shoots to 100-101 C. Please advice whether the fever of 100-101 C is normal in typhoid s third week?

Hi,
In typhoid with proper treatment fever controls within a week time.
In your case there might be relapse of typhoid or there can be another cause for having fever.
If there is no control of fever,
go for complete blood testing for TC,DC, ESR, MP, Platelet count.
Routine urine check up,
X-ray chest.
After reports appropriate treatment can be planned.
Ok and take care.
