dear user
thanks for posting query .
recurrent typoid not good .

1. avoid outside food completely.
2. check your water source . take filter water .
3. cefixime is correct one but in typhoid dose remain high that is 20 mg/kg /day .
4 . if possible u should take iv antibiotic for few days than shift to oral antibiotic .
5 . take light diet . but at frequent interval .
6 .rest is important .
7 . u should go for whole abdominal sonography to rule out any complication

this time when u get cure consult your doctor for typhoid vaccine . given after 1 month of cure .

hope this will help u .
