You must stop switching between different antibiotics, as taking them alternately may lead to severe drug resistance and make it harder to treat typhoid. Please consult your doctor to review your reports and confirm whether you are a chronic carrier of the bacteria, which could be the cause of your frequent infections. It is vital to complete a full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor and to drink only bottled or boiled water to prevent reinfection.
