Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

You have not mentioned the drug which doctor has prescribed you, but I suspect it is ceftriaxone and for ceftriaxone the dose it right.

Typhoid is notorious for its recurrence, if you take the treatment ideally as per the sensitivity report of the stool and blood culture than you will never face recurrence.

Please maintain good diet habit. Eat small frequent diet and not single heavy diet.

Maintaining good hygiene is important like hand washing, this can provide cross infection to other family members.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
