Brief Answer:
Completing the course of antibiotic should resolve the problem

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The treatment with Taxim-O (200) is correct but needs to be continued for 10-14 days even if the fever comes down. What you are observing is the residual effect of the typhoid fever. You would need to be patient. Gradually things would come back to normal.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
