Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.
Your malaria report is negative ...So no need for worry....for that....
Now for typhoid mention which drug you have used....
Usually cefixime like drug given first for 10 to 14 days....
After around month passed stool examination done.
If bacilli present then again second course of antibiotic might needed....
Here another possibility is that there could be bacterial resistence to primary antibiotic ...
For which azithromycin given....
Meanwhile maintain hydration.
Fruit juice more...
Take care.
With keeping my answer in mind consult physician...
