Hello
The entire of treatment of typhoid is 2 to 4 weeks depending upon the nature of drugs used . Previously salmonella typhi were sensitive to chloramphenicol 500 mg four times in day for 15 days .
Now a days when such type of patient visit in my clinic I usually prescribe ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice in day for 14 days .
If the patient had already taken cipro I prescribe levofloxacin 750 mg once in day for 28 days .
Still no relief I advise my patient for drug sensitivity test , your physician can do this also.
Hope this information will help you.
Good luck.
