Hello doctor, My daughter, 18 years old, is suffering from a fever for the last four days and reached up to 103.8. She is having vomiting after any intake. After getting Widal test, her typhi H result shows 1 ratio to 160. Earlier, eight years back, she suffered from viral hepatitis. From yesterday, now she has been given Taxim OF TDS and Metrogyl 400 mg TDS, PCM TDS and for vomiting Ondam MD (Ondansetron). However, now fever is not going to higher ranges but vomiting is not stopping. Please see and advice.
Hi. She is suffering from typhoid (attachment removed to protect patient identity). She is on treatment with Cefixime and Ofloxacin. It is enough. But the temperature is too high and is above the Paracetamol range. Another NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) should be used along with Paracetamol to control temperature. Coming to vomiting, typhoid has one main complication, that is, it causes typhoid ulceration in GIT which causes mostly diarrhoea and vomitting. You can continue but replace Ondem. The antibiotics need atleast five doses and if the temperature is not regressing, then consider to change antibiotics or add third generation Cephalosporin.
