Hello dear,

Kindly do not get concerned with the thoughts of your mother having Dengue.
Since, she is taking treatment for Typhoid, the itching can be attributed either to the side effects of the medications or due to poor hydration status of the skin.
So, kindly discuss regarding this matter with her treating Physician.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of Antihistamine preparations, maintaining adequate hydration status & application of topical moisturizers.

There is no need to worry, she will be fine.
Wishing her a good health & speedy recovery.
Take care.
