If you actually mean thyroid then you'll need to provide some info!

No, I mean TYPHOID FEVER a.k.a Salmonella Typhi. I treat it almost every month, it goes only to still come back.

This is a link and reading it informs me that even if you have the Typhoid treated with antibiotics you are still a carrier and can infect other people you are in contact with. You catch it from someone who has the bacteria and passed to you via something you've eaten or drunk.

It's a very serious condition and your doctor has to examine your stools until there is no bacteria showing.

Quote "Typhoid fever's danger doesn't end when symptoms disappear

Even if your symptoms seem to go away, you may still be carrying Salmonella Typhi. If so, the illness could return, or you could pass the disease to other people. In fact, if you work at a job where you handle food or care for small children, you may be barred legally from going back to work until a doctor has determined that you no longer carry any typhoid bacteria.

If you are being treated for typhoid fever, it is important to do the following:

Keep taking the prescribed antibiotics for as long as the doctor has asked you to take them.

Wash your hands carefully with soap and water after using the bathroom, and do not prepare or serve food for other people. This will lower the chance that you will pass the infection on to someone else.

Have your doctor perform a series of stool cultures to ensure that no Salmonella Typhi bacteria remain in your body.

It is also important to clean taps after you have washed your hands and before turning the water off, antibacterial wet wipes are good for this. Bacteria on your hands can transfer to the tap, you clean you hands then reinfect yourself turning the tap off!
