Hi Doc,
Well I am aged 31, and 5'6'' tall and weigh 70kg and till now I am of very good health until recently contracting typhoid due to having food out, due to situation demanding problems. I was suffering from fever since the Aug 28 and the temperature was going up and down with my throat burning. I was treated initially with paracetemol and ciprofloxacin for about 3 days first and then when again I was having the temperature and the same symptoms, the medication continued for another 4 days. It subsided but again after two days my throat started burning...cold and cough followed and temperature also rose. When I changed a doc ...he prescribed me to undergo a blood test with all details, which analyzed revealed I was having Typhoid...even this doc gave me tabs only for 3 days and he told me that since I used antibiotics...these would suffice...what he prescribed me were ORFIX- CV, OFLOXIN -100 & LOR -10, which were asked to be taken once in the morning and at night and one more tab for fever which has paracetamol, which was asked to be taken only when there is temperature on the high side. well now that the medication is completed two days ago...I feel that the cough and cold hasn't subsided and I still get flum in white color most of times and in yellow color sometimes after getting up from bed in the mornings. My friends advise me to take two pegs of whisky or brandy at night before bed time. Is it safe to drink now......I am only a social blue moon drinker. What precautions are to be taken? Could you please explain.
