Thank you for asking query.
First thing have you done any blood culture test??
Usually duration of fever depends upon severity and sensitivity of organism to drugs.
If the drug which you are giving is sensitive it will help,but sometimes typhoid may require injectable antibiotics for cure.
Although total duartion of oral treatment is 14 days.
Injectables covers the fever early than oral drugs.
Hope you find this helpful.
Rate the above answer if you like it.
