Regular health problems: Diarrhea

Recent test results:

Brief Answer:
Typhoid cure: Cefixime tablets are best for you right now.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

I will help you out with your recurrent typhoid health issues.

Typhoid fever and infection when it first manifests, is spread over 4 weeks typically. The symptoms that people suffer from are similar to yours. As you mention, diarrhea among them. The fever is the first time round is greater than 100. (> 100).

If antibiotics are not taken for a period of 15 days rigorously and without fail. A person gets recurrent attacks of typhoid. Please try to remember your first episode of typhoid. This is an important fact. The chances are very high that you might not have received the right treatment at that time despite "recovering".

The germ that causes typhoid is "salmonella typhi". It can very easily infect a person again, from another infected object or person. This is the main reason that you have a recurrent problem. Note this fact.


Given these facts, I will tell you to take Cefixime (the best) tablets twice a day for 15 days. Then I'd ask you to write back to me stating how your condition is, and how well you are feeling.

We can take it from that point onwards, so please be practical and take the tablets.
Because there is a possibility that you are suffering from another infection, these
tablets will take care of that too, at the same time.

I encourage you to write back to me, asking for help, as regards your doubts and
opinions, given this line of treatment (the best option) that I have suggested for you.

In Confidence,

Brief Answer:
Typhoid cure in 15 days.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Thank you for your understanding.

Kindly try Cefixime this time. It is the very best drug for the exact condition you are suffering from. Cefixime works. It will give results. No more typhoid. Or recurrences. Take two tablets a day. For 15 days. It is more powerful that the dugs you had taken previously.

After 15 days, write back to me. So, a follow up can occur and best results can be achieved. Of course, even if you have a certain stage of typhoid infection, it can be easily controlled by Cefixime, so it does not matter, whether the tests are positive or negative. A test is to be done AFTER 15 days of treatment. That makes perfect sense and perfect long lasting cure of typhoid.

Read the above instructions very carefully again. They are important.

In confidence,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
