Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The medications for typhoid fever need to be given for 7-10 days during which fever should subside. Following recovery from fever, other things like weakness etc should settle in another week to 10 days.
If the disease was very severe, nutritional supplements (vitamins & minerals) for about a month can help replenish the body stores.
With the availability of antibiotics in this era, it has become very easy to treat typhoid and it is not a dreaded disease as was considered in older days.
Typhoid patients should consume soft diet for 1 week if symptoms persist then inclusion of normal diet. Here is sample meal plan for typhoid patients
Thank you.
