hello
welcome to health care magic
Typhoid is a disease caused by salmonella typhi organism,,and the presentations like low grade fever,,uneasy in the stomach,,diarrhoea,etc..
For that you are using cefixime and azithromycin good...
apart from these two medications kindly take proton pump inhibitors(pantocid),,which will decrease the gastric irritation caused by antibiotics..if you still getting fever take anti inflammatory agents like paracetamol..
During the course of treatment take only light foods which are easily digestible..take plenty of fluids as you are taking now..
if you are fit enough for day to day activities you can do them no problem in that..
in around 1 week ,,you will return to normal,you can to gym
Hope you get satisfied with my answer
Have a speed recovery
Thank you
