Can someone let me know if is correct the price for a check from a doctor in Phnom Penh

I'm currently in Phnom Phen with my Cambodian girlfriend she had some stomach problems

we went to a doctor who did a blood test and gave her 2 drips of mineral salts and 2 drips of antibiotics but nothing expensive from what I know

The total price it was $170

Is normal?

Blood tests are not cheap but not expensive 170 is not bad. Why people do so many iv drips is amazing to me. I have not got a iv but a few times my whole life for surgery etc. But in cambodia they do it for fever or fun.
