Hi
Typhoid fever will take at least 7 to 14 days to subside even on treatment.
Typhoid fever needs atleast two weeks of treatment.
I will advise your father to continue antibiotics, be positive and take adequate fluids and rest.
If fever continues even after one week of treatment, consult your physician and take his advise.
I hope you understood, take care, thank you.
