confirm your diagnosis.please take second opinion with all your reports.
typhoid & dengue fever are a rare combination.
1-methodex ( dexamethasone) a steroid .
2-godex ds (carnitine orotate) is given for liver is use less ,liver is effected by dengue & typhoid will be normal by its own.
3-unasyn( ampicillin +sublactum) is given for typhoid ,is resistant these days.
take fresh fruits,milk products, good hygienic diet.
take care of mosquito for dengue.
all medicines have no role in both fevers.
get vaccination against typhoid fever for all family members ,one injection (shot) is enough for 3 yrs.
wash your hands with shop & water several times a day.
take care of hygiene.
