After that we had medication I v ceftriaxone and tazobactam and oral as azithromycin. The medication is done for 2 days but fever 104 is coming for every 10 hours and we are giving meftal p syrup and reducing after 1 hour. Still how many days the fever comes like that? I am very worried for meftal p syrup to give or is it safe. Or I have to do any other blood test?

Your son has typhoid fever and it will take one week for the temperature to come down and metal is good although paracetamol will suffice.
