Treatment of typhoid is complete, when the patient is no more the carrier of typhoid fever. It was a common problem in olden days when chloramphenicol was used to treat the typhoid fever. Chloramphenicol is a bacteriostatic drug. With the advent of bactericidal drugs, you have less number of carriers of typhoid fever. 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.
Antibiotic treatment is effective. However, up to 25% of those who have contracted the disease can die without treatment.
Typhoid can be effectively treated with ciprofloxacin 750 mg twice a day for ten to fourteen days.

It is very common practice in developing countries to treat the typhoid fever as a case of malaria, specially in the first week. You tell patient that he has malaria. He does not respond to your antimalarial treatment. Then you have no option but to tell the patient that he has got both malaria and typhoid at the same time. The fact is that typhoid is usually difficult to diagnose in the first week of fever. It is always better to rule out the malarial fever by giving the antimalarial treatment in first week of febrile illness.
For the same period like normal typhoid, probably. Three to four weeks.
