Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you to confirm your self as a carrier of typhoid fever, you should do a duodenal aspirate culture or bile culture from gall bladder for Salmonella type, the causative agent of typhoid fever. If the culture report says that it is positive you are confirmed as a carrier. If it is difficult to get culture you can also get rapid immunological test typhoon, which is more specific test than that of tidal. It also establishes the diagnosis of carrier state in you. I will be happy to answer your further concerned can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
