Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for your beloved mother, I can under stand her problem.
Usually 10-14 days are required for Ciprofloxacin to be effective in the treatment of typhoid fever.
However,the duration of treatment depends upon the severity of infection, for severe and complicated infections more prolonged therapy may be required.
Yes, the fever in patients with typhoid can last for days together.
Since she is having associated liver problem, the dosage of drugs like Acetaminophen should be reduced to minimum for effective lowering her fever but without causing harmful effects on her liver.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing your mother a quick and smooth recovery.
