Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have typhoid, IgG and IgM are positive even after taking the antibiotic for 14 days. So, even now I have a got fever on and off. Can typhoid be cured on its own if there is no complication?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand all your concerns. Typhoid fever is a common serious infection that requires specific treatment after diagnosis. The causative organisms are either salmonella typhi or paratyphi. The definitive diagnosis is through isolation of the organism by culture in the first ten days. The drug of choice is Ciprofloxacin for 14 days. Please let me know when the symptoms started and the name of the medications you have taken. Typhoid fever can be chronic if not treated properly. For further advice please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you and take care. Regards.
