Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Divakara's Response
HI
Thanks for posting your query.
There are many different Antibiotics which can be given for Typhoid fever. The choice of antibiotics varies from doctor to doctor .
In my experience the Typhoid Bacteria has become very strong and the chance of cure with only one Antibiotic ( Macpod ) is less. If you were my patient I would have added another antibiotic like OFLOXACIN along with the prescription given to you.
Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarification feel free to ask .
Regards,
