Hi Prav,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Typhoid can not be converted in to TB.
It may be TB from the very start.
You must confirm it with a lymph node biopsy sampled from the swelling in axilla.
TB frequently presents like that and with treatment both problems would resolve.
I wish your wife a great health!
