She is in miserable pain, won't let me take her to the clinic and wants to coin her stomach

I've given her western diarrhea pills, gaviscon, anticel gel.

No fun at my house

if she refuses medical treatment give her ciprofloxacin and be aware resistance is becoming an issue.
if she will not go to clinic find a new GF

here is for the resistant shit

Multi-drug resistant salmonella typhi (MDRST) is defined as Salmonella typhi resistant to all first line antibiotic i.e. chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole. Multiple outbreaks of infections with these resistant strains occurred in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Middle East and Africa.3-5 This resistance rarely develops during course of treatment but instead results from clonal dissemination of individual multi-drug resistant S.typhi or from transfer of R-plasmid.6 Recently however there are reports from some areas, of strains, fully susceptible to all first line drugs.7

Therfall and Ward have reported that S.typhi with decreased sensitivity to ciprofloxacin is endemic in several Asian countries, and incidence of such strains has increased in travelers from the Indian subcontinent. They suggested 3rd generation cephalosporins such as ceftriaxone or cefotaxime as possible alternatives and in their study it was assured that all strains were sensitive to these drugs.8

Reduced susceptibility to flouroquinolones has become a major problem mostly in Asia.9,10 Outbreak with such strains affected eight thousand people and killed 150 people in Tajikistan in 1997.11 Isolates responsible for this outbreak were found to have MIC of flouroquinolone ten times to that of those fully susceptible to the drug. This decreased susceptibility is resulting in treatment failure.12,13
here is the resistance table for typhoid

There are sporadic reports of high resistance to ceftriaxone as well.14 At the moment the emergence of resistant strains to two major second line drugs like ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone is posing a major problem.

METHODS

Blood samples received in the laboratory of Fatima Memorial Hospital for culture during the study period of one and half year, were followed and sensitivity of isolates positive for Salmonella typhi was checked to 20 different antibiotics. These antibiotics included ampicillin, amikacin, amoxicillin, augumentin, aztreonam, cefipime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, cefixime, cefaclor, cefuroxime, ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, imipenem, meropenem, pipracil, tobramycin and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole.
