Is Azithral Effective For Typhoid?

My wife (Age 29) has been tested positive for Typhoid. The Dr has prescribed Glevo 500 once a day for 5 days. I read that one of the side affect of the medicine is developing rashes on skin. My wife is very prone to developing such rashes. I discussed the same with the doctor and she alternatively prescribed Azithral 500 for 3 days. So the question is, will Azithral work for Typhoid?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
You have a straight query.
Azithral that is Azithromycin is known to be effective in typhoid and works well.
I would advise you further for getting few more tests like blood culture and sensitivity as this will guide for the best effective medications for typhoid in case of your wife.
Also give her probiotics, multivitamins for early recovery.
Soft bland diet which is easy for her to digest as typhoid basically starts with inflammation of the terminal that is later part of small intestine.
Bed rest is important for good recovery.
Proper nutritional support helps further.
Get the treatment till cured and ask or discuss about the role of Amoxicillin as further course to get the curative dosages.
I find this answer helpful
