About 10 days ago, I tested positive for typhoid. However, I did not have a fever, my main symptoms were weakness, vomiting, and gastric issues. My Typhi Dot IgM was positive, and the titre was slightly elevated. I took Doxcef O for 10 days and also received the typhoid vaccine. Despite this, I still feel like vomiting after eating, and I am experiencing leg pain and overall weakness. This is the first time I have had typhoid, and someone mentioned that I might have become a chronic carrier, which has made me anxious. Is this a serious issue, or can it be fully cured? How long does recovery usually take? I have attached my report for your review.

Chronic carrier state is rare and usually only if symptoms persist for months. Continue hydration, bland diet, rest. Vomiting and weakness should resolve in 1 to 3 weeks.

I have been experiencing stomach pain for the past year. It feels like something is moving around on the right side of my stomach. I consulted a doctor who said it is a digestion problem, and I also had lab tests done, which showed nothing abnormal. What should I do next?
