What Is The Proper Medication For Typhoid Fever?
my child has a high fever for last one week
on monday doctor diagonise typhoid
first they give cefixime 100 mg 3.5 ml twice a day
wednesday we consult another doctor and he doubled the dose with crocin after every 6 hrs
but once we spotted some blood accumulate and then we gave his
stool to lab and there was also some blood accumulates
then we rushed to hospital for admission but doctor told us there is no need instead he started 150 mg vaccine in 10 ml distilled water. along with antibiotic cifloxin( 5ml twice a day) and lansoprazole tablet once a day
for fever he recommended us crocin and neftal after every 8 hrs alternatively
now his fever is normal. but is not having his meal properly
and feeling dizziness and is not active.
earlier when we were giving him oral he shows active ness once hsi fever was normal after having crocin.
pls suggest are we medicating him properly

Hello
This is over consciousness of the parents of the child.
As you stated that your son is getting ciprofloxacin ( dose must be 10 mg twice in day ) for 14 days .
While your doctor I also advised lansaprazole for nausea and hyper acidity .
Whiel crocin and meftal are also for fever and pain.
All standard treatment has prescribed for your son , so need not to worry .
Mild blood in stool is a characteristic feature of typhoid fever , so need not to worry because typhoid fever is intestinal disease .
Within short period your son will resume his normal activities.
Be confident and nothing to worry.
