Hi Doctor,
Thanks for the reply.
Does it mean typhoid is there or should i go for further medical test after that i continue my treatment?
After the first dose within two hours the fever is gone and i didnt get any fever after that.
But my blood pressure is 100/70 from last four days and there is no improvement and some giddiness.
The tablets i was prescribed are montemac(fexofenadine) and p650.
So can i continue the treatment or should i wait for another widal test.
Regards
XXXX
