Hello
Since you are diagnosed as a patient of typhoid fever .
When such patient visit my clinic I prescribe them to take CIPROFLOXACIN 500 mg one tablet two times in day for 14 days .
If orally not adjusted take injection ceftrizone 1 gm I/V twice in day for 10 days .
Usually all patient respond this treatment very well.
Since this is a prescription medicine so consult your physician and get a prescription.
If patient is very weak then he may need some intravenous fluid as per requirement.
Hope this will help. Since this is an intestinal disease , so even after treatment patient remain a carrier of salmonella for 6 month time without any fever or symptoms.
