I got married recently and my periods have been delayed for three days. I have severe fever in the evening and night for the past 8 days. My blood report suggests typhoid 1:40 dilution. Can I take Taximo 200 mg? Is it safe or should I avoid it?

A dilution of 1:40 may not confirm typhoid. If symptoms persist, further evaluation is needed. Taximo (cefixime) is generally safe but should be taken under doctor guidance.
