Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Your child has fever for 22 days, and you have given cefuroxime for 7 days followed by definite and ofloxacin and now child is on amoxyclav and ofloxacin and still child has fever. In typhoid, complications of gastrointestinal system starts appearing in 2 to 3 weeks and central nervous system complications in 3 to 4 weeks. This is an alarming situation. You should immediately admit the child in hospital. Intravenous antibiotics and blood culture will guide further treatment. I hope this will help you. Take care.
