Hi,

The typhoid attack might have been severe in your case and it will take more than 15 days to recover. If you have taken 15 days treatment then you should take nutritious home cooked food for about a month and half or 6 weeks. The food should preferably be home cooked and not spicy. What happens is that typhoid causes depletion of energy and this can take a bit longer course in some. Few people report weakness for 3 months after typhoid. It will also help if you can repeat widal test to make sure that you do not have any chronic infection.
