Is 100 Degree Temperature Normal While Having Typhoid?
sir my daughter 8 year old suffering from typhoid dated from 22-4-14 Dr started typhoid treatment from 28-5-14 to 13-6-14 with antibiotic medicines. still now she body temperature daily (between 99 to 100). I talk to my Dr. But Dr tell me upto 100 digree is normal.
Fever should respond within 3 to 7 days of starting the properly recommended dose of antibiotic.
If fever is not responding with two weeks course of antibiotic then child to be re investigated for concomitant additional pathology or the drug used is not effective for the typhoid. In such cases blood culture is quite important to get the exact required antibiotic.
