Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter 7 yrs is suffering from Typhoid. She was given Taxim O for 2 days before she was admitted to hospital. Once admitted she was given Monocef IV for 2 days. Since she hasnt got fever since last 48 hrs now, can we stop Monocef IV now and move back to Taxim O?
Brief answer: Remain admitted till child is afebrile for 3 days.
Detailed answer: Hi, welcome to HCM. Your child is diagnosed with typhoid. If a child is admitted in hospital and is given intravenous antibiotics, then we usually wait for 3 days of afebrile period to shift on oral antibiotics. In my opinion, you should wait for 1 more day and then decide. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care. Regards: Dr Deepak Patel, MD Pediatrics
