[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, If you have been diagnosed correctly (tidal test 1:80) typhoid fever then you will have to take antibiotics (cephalosporins in combination with quinolones like definite 200 mg with levofloxacin 500 mg) with other symptomatic treatment. If there is no high tier (above 1:160) here in tidal test then this need to give antibiotics in single dosage for at least 15 days and follow up is taken after repeating tidal test again. The main concern is not only treatment but to prevent relapse and to prevent carrier state is also important. So, better you take treatment from physician only rather than taking from any other doctor or by self. Initially only liquid diet for 5 days then if response is good, then you can go for soft diet till the completion of treatment as diet is also an important factor during treatment. This combination of dietary and medications will cure you completely in proper duration as I have mentioned.
