Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Omnix contains cefixime and is an effective oral medication for Typhoid fever.
Continue the medication as prescribed by your Pediatrician in appropriate dosage and appropriate duration as Typhoid fever requires pronged duration like 10 days to 2 weeks depending on the disappearance of fever.
You should give a soft diet, home made.
Avoid fried, spicy, oily and junk food.
Maintain hydration by giving plenty of oral fluids.
Give proper rest.
Hope I have answered your query.
