Suggest Medication For Persistent Fever

Dear Doc, I got my blood report yesterday and I got suffered from typhoid fever and I have cough also. The doctor suggested me medicine but nothing is improvement in my health. Yesterday he gave ma a MONOCOF 1G injection but also it has no effect. I am fit and fine and I can do my work and cook food, no any body pain, no headache. The fever is rising in morning. If medicine is over again the fever caught. So please let me know what step would I take?

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you should think of blood culture for salmonella, and sensitivity of the same. As you taken the treatment Salmonella typhi will not be isolated in culture. So do two or three culture from different place. Once the sensitivity result on hand start with antibiotics sensitive to particular strain of salmonella. Complete the course of treatment to prevent the relapse.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
