I recently had COVID-19 and now have typhoid with a continuing fever; since I have been taking Monocef for two days, should I add Cifran to my treatment, or is Monocef alone enough to treat typhoid?
Please rest assured that Monocef (ceftriaxone) is a highly effective treatment for typhoid. It is very common to still have a fever after only two days, as it typically takes 3 to 7 days of antibiotic therapy for the temperature to settle. You should not add Cifran (ciprofloxacin) to your regimen on your own. Using both together without medical advice can cause unnecessary side effects. Please consult your prescribing doctor before making any changes, continue your current treatment, and get plenty of rest and fluids.
