Hello
Typhoid fever is caused by salmonella bacilli and in your daughter case it is POSITIVE . She took cefpodoxime +azithromycin and alm 80.
Till now not responding treatment because fever still present.
The first line of treatment is CIPROFLOXACIN 500 mg twice in day and most of susceptible organisms are responding to this treatment.
Few cases are not responding ,so the other most important drug is Injection ceftrizone 2-3 gm / day for 7 -14 days .
So consult your treating doctor and get his prescription.
Good luck.
