Hello, Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection caused by the bacteria Salmonella. Several antibiotics are effective in the treatment of typhoid fever. Chloramphenicol was the original drug of choice for many years. Because of rare serious side effects, Chloramphenicol has been replaced by other effective antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin and Ceftriaxone IV injections are the commonly used antibiotics. In children usually Ceftriaxone is advised. The choice of antibiotics also depends on the geographic region where the infection was contracted. For example some strains from South America show a significant resistance to some antibiotics. In cases of relapses, patients are retreated with antibiotics. In addition IV fluids and electrolyes are given to prevent the dehydration that results from a prolonged fever and diarrhea. Nonbulky, high-calorie meals can help replace the nutrients you lose when you re sick. Vaccines against typhoid fever are available, but they re only partially effective. Vaccines usually are reserved for those who may be exposed to the disease or are traveling to areas where typhoid fever is common. I would advise you to follow the treatment advised by the Paediatrician.
