Hello, yes azthromycin together wsith omnicef is good drug combination for the cases which are resistance to 1st line drug treatments.
Probably you bugs has developed drug resistance to the 1st set of antibiotics used. Typhoid bug is notorious for developing resistance to antibiotics.
After the antibiotic course better do post treatment culture yo see whether the infection is settled wholly. Hope this helps. Thank you.
