Patient has Urobilinogen of 3.2. how can he clear Typhoid Fever?

continue with another 10 days ciprofloxacin or transfer to mega doses of Bactrim forte?

note:

1- Patient has Hepatitis B but have no visible signs of liver damage from body scan only a small fatty liver but do complain about pains from time to time and is unable to test for HBV viral Load and Liver Enzymes due to over priced testing. .. 2- no history of Diabetes or Heart Problems.

3- have asthma and takes Seretide

4- EU Patient will return to Europe on 14th september where Healthcare is free.

5- patient has taken Ciprofloxacin 4 times this year to treat Widal 1/160 without any problems.

any Advice on the best strategy in meantime?

take up new medicine or wait for a second opinion in Europe?

If should take new medicine will b complex vitamins a guarantee that it wont damage the Liver?
