Suggest Typhoid Treatment
MY wife (32 yrs) has typhoid. As per doctor s prescription she is taking taxim 200 (cefixime) 1-0-1 dosage and dolo 650 (almost 4 times a day). 1) Even after 4 dosage of taxim the fever continues intermittently and reaches upto 102. Is this normal during the treatment? 2) Before the treatment was started with taxim she was under amoxicillin for 3 days along with dolo-650. We are are fearing dolo-650 overdosage. Should we be concerned? thanks, -sureshr

Hi
In regard to your query, typhoid is due to contaminated food and water which usually lasts for 7-14 days nothing to worry about please do not take paracetamol or dolo 650 for more than prescribed since it may result in liver damage. i suggest you to do continuous wet damp cloth all over the body or head.Take fluids continously and easily digestable food along with fruits. You are on correct antibiotics and always have boiled water i mean cooled after boiling.Nothing to worry about.dolo 650 can taken every 6 hourly before this.Hope i answered your query.
