Please let me know how long is he on medication now? Typhoid fever usually takes 5-6 days to subside after starting medication. Diet of your child should be light food containing soups, also give food every 3-4 hours, because the child will have less appetite, and due to pain in stomach as mentioned by you will not take big meal at a time. The medication itself can cause pain in stomach as side effect, see to it that they are administered after some food and not empty stomach
