Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Mucus In Stools

I was diagnosed with typhoid fever (IgG IgM positive) and used 19 Ciprofloxacin 500 mg capsules. I resumed my work at office and after 16 days, when my temperature was over, i consumed pulses and potatoes cooked in spices, and has a relapse. I feel pain in my stomach and flank region, sometimes the pain shifts to back. Temperature remains below 98.4 F or 98.4 F but during night it rises to 99 F and then climbs down to normal. No constipation, but faeces are glossy and slippery, like covered by some mucus as it doesn t leave and trace or mark on floor.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

As you have been treated with ciprofloxacin for about 9 to 10 days with other symptomatic drugs for your typhoid fever.

I would suspect recurrent typhoid fever or rleapse for your symptoms like stomach pain,mild fever or mucus stools.

You should go for routine blood counts,urine and stool examination for routine/microscopy and ova-cyst to diagnose the exact underlying cause whether it is relapse or appearance of new infection.

You will require antibiotics,anti-helminthics and other supportive drugs.

Consult your treating physician for complete examination and treatment.

Regards,
