Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Salmonella typhi is a bacteria and it can lead to typhoid. In that case, they need antibiotic treatment. Better to consult a physician for proper treatment. In few days, they would improve. Blood in stool may be due to gastric infection. Nothing to worry about that. With antibiotic, that would improve. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
