Dear doctor, if typhoid is positive in the lab report, is hospital admission required, or can I take antibiotic injections in the morning and evening on a day care basis like a general OP patient? Please advise. If admission and IV fluids are required, how many days will it take to cure?

Typhoid can often be treated without hospital admission if the patient is stable and eating well. Severity and hospital stay can be best decided by the consulting doctor. Please follow as advised. Recovery with antibiotics and fluids typically takes 7 to 10 days.
