Suggest Treatment For Typhoid Infection

My nephew is suffering from Typhoid and it seems there has been an inflammation in the brain also.
However he is suffering from high fever and headache continually. He is in ICU and doctors are treating him.
I just wanted to know what would be the best approach/medicine as a treatment for this. I would like to know this, since am not sure whether the hospital specializes in it or not.
Thanks for your replies in advance.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

If your nephew is confirmed to have typhoid fever he can be given Tab Zifi 200 mg bd, tab acitop sos, cap B Lactose OD and tab for vomiting.

Typhoid is a disease which is transmitted by drinking contaminated water and eating contaminated food.

The main thing is to keep restriction of food in typhoid fever.
In active disease, i suggest bed rest and soft diet. please avoid oily and fatty food.you can give glucose powder.
Thank you.
