Infectious Diseases Specialist 's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

The prescribed treatment is the combination of the malaria and typhoid.

Actually the regimen provided is not the best for the typhoid fever.

I suggest you to take the ceftriaxone as antibiotics in place of the Amoxycillin prescribed to you.

You can take the injection of the above antibiotics under your doctors guidance.

Please do not eat single large food at once instead you can eat small frequent diet. This will help prevent perforation in the intestine.

High protein and carbohydrate diet is advised avoid spicy foods.

You can also test yourself for the malaria and typhoid in the near by laboratory to get the exact diagnosis.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
