Hello again.

Thanks for uploading the image.

Cefotaxime has been advised for treatment. It is the correct option of antibiotics. However both dose and duration prescribed are incorrect.

1 g twice a day for minimum 7 days is usually required. It can be extended to more than 2 weeks in severe infections.

I would advise you to consult another physician and continue the medication.

For diagnostic purpose, blood and stool cultures should have been done prior to starting antibiotics.
