Is Zanocin 400 Mg Advisable For Typhoid?
My mother, 65 in age has tested positive for Typhoid. Her blood sample (culture) started showing some positive growth today morning only. The doctor has advised Zanocin 400 BD for 15 days. She has been having fever for the last 2 weeks. Is this treatment correct? Any further suggestions please?
