Both amoxillin and ampicillin are used to treat cases of typhoid fever (Salmonella enterica typhi), but resistant strains are often treated with newer drugs such as ceftraixone, cefotaxime, levofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin (Cipro).
Amoxil is used for treating infections caused by certain bacteria. It is also used with other medicines to treat H. pylori infection and ulcers of the small intestines. Amoxil is a penicillin antibiotic.

Can you be chronic typhoid carrier for 40 years?
Before 1980's you used to treat typhoid fever with Chloramphenicol antibiotic for 10 to 14 days. It is a 'bacteriostatic' antibiotic and there used to be many cases of chronic carrier. Few used to relapse and responded well to chloramphenicol again. Then there was emergence of chloramphenicol resistant typhoid fever. It was a serious threat to health system. Fortunately fluroqunoline group of antibacterials came to the rescue. And most cases can be managed with this antibacterial drug. This being 'bactericidal' drug you do-not have many carriers of typhoid fever. Another drug being ceftriaxone injections is also 'bactericidal' antibiotic. And you do-not have many cases of chronic carrier of typhoid fever. You treat the typhoid carriers with one of the 'bactericidal' drug. But, if you happen to find a person of typhoid fever for 40 years, please do not get surprised. As in biology this can easily happen. ( It is interesting to read the story of 'Typhoid Merry' from USA.)

You have to do repeated culture of stool sample to rule out the carrier stage. Some times the typhoid bacteria is hidden in gall bladder and then you may have to remove the gall bladder. Such precautions are practically never taken in developing countries.
