Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I am suffering from typhoid from one 7 days, my report details is S.typhi O-1:16 and S.typhi H-1:160 I am taking gudcef plus and Mac fast twice a day from 3 days, still I am not recovered, can I continue same tablt or need to change. Please suggest
Hello dear, Both your drugs is correct. To recover from typhoid it will require generally 6-7 days in without antibiotic resistance. So continue your drugs. Take other measures: 1. Maintain sanitation and hygiene 2. Wash your hands frequently 3. Drinks double filtered water (Lukewarm water instead of cold water) 4. You can take typhoid vaccine to prevent occurrence in future
If it will not resolve with in seven days: 1. Admit to hospital 2. Consult to doctor 3. Intravenous Dextrose 5% saline, one pint per day is useful: as hydration therapy is best for typhoid fast recovery 4. Antibiotic tablet Azithromycin 500 mg one daily for three days.
Hope this may help you. Wish you good health and faster recovery
Best regards Dr. Sagar
