Hello and welcome to HCM,
Jaundice can be precipitated by certain medications.
Jaundice which is caused by medicines usually leads to increase in levels of unconjugated bilirubin.
Thus, I would suggest you to get serum levels of total bilirubin , direct and indirect bilirubin.
However, it is not possible to comment that the jaundice is caused by typhoid medications or some other cause.
Thanks and take care
