TYPHOID weak positive
Sir I am stuck in delhi alone(student) and unable to find any good doctor . MY TYPHIDOT Igm test report came "weak positive" 2 days back .
Somehow my father in my native town arranged Railway doctor . After seeing my report(TYPHIDOT Igm test and remark was "weak positive" and nothing else was mentioned)he prescribed me "Azythromycin 1gm(1000mg) at morning and levofloxin 750mg at night. My query is that sir is this dose ok or high dose? . Fever goes away after taking medicines but very light fever(98.8 or 99.1 etc) come back after 8-9 hours of eating medicines. Today is my 2nd day of medication and 6th day of typhoid symptoms. I m very nervous because lot of negative stories are given on internet about typhoid Nd I am totally alone in delhi

In my opinion you need to change antibiotics which is more appropriate for typhoid but need cbc urine and typhoid reports so consult online with reports with a doctor
