How Long Can Typhoid Virus Exist In The Body?

I had been diagonised with Typhoid and dengue 1 month back. I got admitted in hospital and was given 6 bottles of IV fluids and got dischared in 2 days. My platelet count was within limits - 1.5 Lakhs. Later doctor advised me to take 6-8 litres of water a day and asked me to avoid oil and spicy foods. But still I get feverish feeling (my temperature is however normal) , weakness and body pain after 6pm and whole of the night. I am also taking some vitamins as prescribed by Doctor and I feel quite normal during the day.

Any suggestions in this regard? Do i still have typhoid virus and how long will this problem be there?

Weakness is expected after getting sick from dengue and typhoid infection.
Nothing to worry as weakness wold go away gradually.
Keep taking vitamins,eat healthy and drink plenty of water.
