Thanks for writing back.
A raised CRP indicates some infection. The infection has already been confirmed to be typhoid. Taking cefpodoxime should gradually bring it under control but high fever can continue for sometime even on the antibiotic. You will have to be patient. Do not worry. It will resolve on medication.
