Hi Doctor, I am Salini. 28,F,Single.

Since childhood I always used to drink boiled water and never had any

waterborne disease. But around 2.5 years back the entire family met with an

accident in U.P and I was forced to drink non boiled bottled water. As a

result I got typhoid and jaundice within some month's time. I was treated

with monocef injections for both the infection and was cured.



Now after almost 2 years after the first typhoid infection I got fever and

widal was tested positive. I was hospitalised and was treated with monocef

2gm injections. The course of 10 injection got over on yesterday.



Unlike last time when I was completely cured after course of antibiotics, I

still feel very weak and is having cough and headache even now. The blood

culture, LFT,and sonography results are normal as on last Saturday.



Medical History



As a child I was treated for primary complex but is not aware of much

details as I was really young at that time. I think the

tablet name was R-Cin. And I also remember that doctors used to give me

septran so often (I used to fall sick so frequently..say 3 times a month

in childhood).



I was treated with Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium) couple of

times in the last 3 years.(as I often don’t get cured by mild antibiotics).I

have been given many antibiotics since childhood and have developed

resistance to ones like ciproflaxin gradually. Last year when I got sinus

infection I didn’t respond to medicines for long and finally responded to

linezolid.



I have undergone laproscopic Cholecystectomy due to multiple stones. Though

I dont remember the names strong antibiotics where used then also.

I am worried right now as I am still feel sick after the completion of

monocef injections. I wonder whether I have developed a resistance for the

same. I am not sure whether it is common to get headaches and cough even

after completion of medicines. Please let me know your comments on the

following.



1. Am I getting resistant to antibiotics due to the increased use of the

same by doctors?



2. If so, Is there a way to get rid of the resistance.



3. My immunity seems to be very low. Since childhood I get infected very

soon. Even if someone in close contact (Dad, Mom or colleagues in office)

gets fever I gets infected. What can I do to increase immunity. (I am so

allergic to citric fruits. I get throat infection if I take them.)



4. How can I be completed cured from typhoid? How can I make sure that I

don’t come back again.



5. I do not take oily/spicy food and is a pure vegetarian. What can I add

to food habits so that I can be more healthy?
