Hello dear. You need atleast 2 weeks of complete bed rest. Typhoid fever has a typical step ladder pattern of fever where temperature raises and then comes back to normal. The duration of illness may last for 3-4 weeks.

Symptoms include:

Poor appetite
Headaches
Generalized aches and pains
Fever as high as 104 degrees Farenheit
Lethargy
Diarrhea

Take lot of fluids and take treatment as prescribed by your doctor

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
