<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi Doctor, My son was suffering from typhoid fever 10 days back. He has full medication regarding the fever and it went off. Now again from 2 days he was suffering from cold and cough and now from 1 day he is having fever which is varying from 98 to 101. Is there a chance that typhoid came back. Shell I give him meftal p  <response>: Hi, thank you for posting your query here. Since he has cough and cold, it is more likely that the fever he is having now is a viral fever, unrelated to typhoid. If he has abdominal pain, loose stools or vomiting with very less appetite and prolonged fever more than 3 days, I would advise you to do a blood culture and give the same antibiotic used to treat the typhoid, for at least 7 days. Meftal is not advisable for fever as it can cause severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Paracetamol is sufficient. Hope this helps, and he gets well soon. Take care
