Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, typhoid fever is known to have convalescent Carrier (Sheds typhoid bacilli for 3 or more months after onset illness) and Chronic Carrier(Sheds typhoid bacilli for more than 12 months after onset of illness). As you are having typhoid for last 3 months you have become a potentially long-term carrier of the typhoid infection, and you may need to have a further 28-day course of antibiotics to remove all the bacteria. Until test results show that you are free of bacteria, avoid handling or preparing food. It is also very important that you wash your hands thoroughly after going to the toilet. Thank you.
