Hello
Since , you mentioned that your son is having typhoid fever for 7 days and prescribed antibiotics for another 7 days ( total 14 days course).
Now your son is complaining pain in various joints ( knee, joints of hand ans shoulder ) .
But don't take tension because after typhoid fever few patient develop other complications like malaise, ARTRALGIAS ( pain in various joints ) , and many others.
So , once typhoid fever cured , your son will get relief .
Beside prescribed antibiotics also take some aceclofenac tablet after consultation with your physician .
But take a complete course of typhoid fever.
Good luck.
