Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello Doctor, my son who is 8 years has been detected with typhoid on Monday ie. 07/03/11. Since then he has been on medication (Secef and Azithral twice a day), but his fever is not going down from 102 or 103 or 104. Please suggest how may days it should normally take to get the fever down. Should we get some other checkups done.
Hi, you are taking correct treatment for typhoid typhoid is a major disease and it may take upto 10 days to treat. In my opinion, you should take the drugs properly, do temperature charting and wait for 2 days. If any complications like persistent vomiting, pain abdomen, jaundice occurs then the child will need admission. I advise you to look for these complications, give drugs regularly and if any complications arise then admit the child. I hope this will help you. Take care.
