HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your concern, If it is typhoid fever then it should be treated with full precaution because the resistance case of typhoid being increased all over the world if the clinical picture taking longer than enough time for control the infection then resistance against the antibiotic should be suspected and switch over to some other antibiotic with two drug regime should be considered, if oral drug is not compliance then all the drugs should be administered with IV route, take care of your son every thing will be alright soon have nice day.
