Hi welcome to the health care magic

You have been diagnosed with typhoid

You have not recovered fully after antibiotic treatment Hence here antibiotic resistance should be ruled out

Culture study will be beneficial for that

If cefixime resistance than azithromycin can be prescribed

Avoid heavy fatty meals and fried foods

Fruits juices will be beneficial

Avoid excess spicy foods...

Small meal taken with frequent interval

Take care

Consult physician for examination with keeping all this in mind

Hope your concern solved
