The typhoid test came back positive, but there is no fever now. Is it possible that the blood test report is incorrect? Also, can typhoid fever resolve on its own without antibiotics? What other tests can be done to confirm typhoid, and how long does it typically take for typhoid to completely go away? Additionally, I gave the typhoid vaccine to my child, so how is it possible that she is still suffering from typhoid?

Yes, typhoid can sometimes resolve on its own, especially if mild. Blood test may give false positives due to past exposure. Confirm via blood culture. Vaccinated children can still get mild infection. Please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I have had a low grade fever for two months. My doctor advised some blood tests, which show typhoid, WBC count of 16,000, and ESR of 70. What should I do?
