Hi,
For typhoid antibiotic usually given up to 10-14 days. It's not advisable to still continue medicines without doctor advise. An extended course of antibiotic given only when bacilli persist in the stool.
So don't take medicine without doctor's advise. Your SGPT is high that also should be evaluated further with ultrasonography abdomen and viral profile study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
