I just found out that the Albendazole 400mg tablets I've been taking are supposed to be chewed, but I've been swallowing them whole. I'm on a 3-day treatment and have already done 2 daysdo you think swallowing them instead of chewing will affect how well they work? The doctor didn't mention this, but I read it on the back of the package.

I've been having fever on and off for the past few weeks. Initially, I was diagnosed with typhoid on May 11th and started a 10-day course of antibiotics, which seemed to work at first. But just a week after finishing the medication, the fever returned, and I tried some home remedies, which only temporarily controlled it. Now, my fever is back at 100F, and I'm feeling quite down about it. Can you please advise on what steps I should take next?
