Hi,
These symptoms are because of untreated malaria and typhoid. Artemether and Lumefantrine is best for resistance prevailing areas so it is choice of drug in your case.
However Amoxil is not preferred for typhoid. instead Ceftriaxone is preferred or Ciprofloxacin can be used. So, get admitted in hospital so that proper iv treatment can be started.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
