Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
The standard of treatment for Salmonella Typhi infection are:
1. Cephalosporins like Ceftriaxone
2. Macrolide like Azithromycin.
Mostly, we gice ombination of Ceftriaxone and Azithromycin to our patients.
If oral treatment is required, Cefixime, Levofloxacin and Ofloxacin can be given.
As far as your query is concerned, both of the medicines can be taken together.
This is my best advise for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me..
Stay Healthy.
