Hello I was diagnosed with typhoid in August. From that day till now I have visited many doctors and I am still using antibiotics. Today I got my blood sample tested again for typhoid and it is still showing positive. I am still feeling weakness and have lost around 10 kg in these 3 months. I am attaching my report. Please can anyone tell me how many days it will take to recover completely? Answer will be appreciated. Thank you.

You may still be recovering or having a lingering post-infection effect. Repeated positive reports may not always mean active infection.
