Hello
Since 12 days passed and still fever , two possibilities a re there .
Either treatment is wrong or diagnosis is wrong.
Mahacef is cifixim , the drug of choice in typhoid fever , rabeloc is an antacid , crocin as you know paracetamol , safox ia another antibiotics .
As you mentioned that fever is there so this may be due to .
1 Tuberculosis , diagnosis can be confirmed by X Ray chest with blood examination for C B C, E S R .
2 HEPATITIS OR jaundice may be the another cause of such fever . Diagnosis can be confirmed by estimation of S G OT , S G PT , serum bilirubin .
3 Since you didn't mention the exact symptoms in details so very difficult to establish any diagnosis , but anemia is another such cause of fever . Get in blood examination for hemoglobin level.
As far as concerned about bathing and walking , she can do these activities without any difficulty , if she don't feel tiredness or breathlessness.
In your mother case I recommend you consult another physician and get his opinion ( 2nd ).
Good luck.
