Thank you for your question. Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection and the presence of jaundice implies it is a severe infection which requires admission and administration of intravenous antibiotics. As for your grandma, she is already admitted and I am sure she should be on antibiotics prescribed by her attending physician. She should be start feeling fine within five to seven days though the treatment might last 10 to 14 days. Good luck
