Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
ESR is an acute Phase Reactant - it is elevated in any insult like infection or inflammation - fever, injury, Rheumatic disorder and so on. It does not give a clue to the cause. It gives a rough idea of severity and is useful in follow up - it comes down, when the condition improves...
It is not the cause of back pain.
Back pain may be from the fever itself.
Do not take any strong pain-relieving medicine for it- it can cause injury to the stomach and intestine - especially in a setting of typhoid.
Get the fever treated properly by a specialist in Infectious Diseases or XXXXXXX Medicine.
When it has settled down, re-check. Now itself, it is improving...
If it is still high, after a fortnight, you will need further investigations
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

some good medicine for this treatment from your side will be appreciated.

Strong medicines for pain are harmful for the Gastro-Intestinal Tract - especially in typhoid.
Take only paracetamol for fever & pain relief - 650 mg (up to one gram) - 4 times a day
For cold and cough - combination of oral decongestant like phenylephrine and cough suppressant like dexamethorphan help
There are several over the counter brands.
If you do not improve, you will need an antibiotic...You are probably taking one for thphoid treatment already...
Your GP will be able to give appropriate prescription
