Answer 1

Cefixime and Ofloxacin combination is not required in the management of enteric fever. For children, you can not use Oflaxacin. Please use Cefixime in a dosage of 20 mg/kg in two divided doses for Enteric fever in children. Now a days defervascenes time for Enteric fever is 5 to 7 days, so continue only Cefixime and wait for the response.
