Hi
As you have already taken oral antibiotics,i would suggest you to start injectable cefuroxime1.5 gm i.v twice daily.Get a blood culture and sensitivity test done.
Constipation is because of typhoid.However lactulose 10ml can be taken as and when required to provide symptomatic relief in constipation.
Take a probiotic daily with antibiotics.
Injectable therapy should be given for 7 days,
