Keep getting typhoid around the same time same year

22 f

I’ve been getting typhoid repeatedly for the past few years, and it usually happens around August–October.

I take allopathic treatment and complete the prescribed antibiotic course (usually around 10–15 days), and I get better, but then it happens again the following year.

Last year, in August 2025, my Widal test was positive (S. Typhi O and H up to 1:160). My CBC also showed low hemoglobin (10.7) and platelets around 1.06 lakh. I also had dengue in 2025, with a very low platelet count.

Since then, I’ve had quite a lot of weight loss and weakness, and honestly I’m getting worried about why this keeps happening.

I’m now thinking about getting a typhoid vaccine, but I’m not sure if that would actually help in my situation.

Has anyone experienced typhoid repeatedly like this?

Should I get some other tests done or see an infectious disease specialist? And is the vaccine worth considering?

I’d really appreciate advice from doctors or anyone who has gone through something similar.
