Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Typhoid is a afection, swelling/inflammation of terminal that is the last part of the small intestines affecting later on the liver, sleep and practically the whole body.
Hence you should strictly adhere to the pure vegetarian diet which is fresh and homemade, should soft and bland diet.
You should not take non-vegetarian food for at least one and half months and no alcohol or beer for three months.
Since it is only for the three days that you have taken antibiotics, it is long way to go as you have to take antibiotic for at least 2-3 weeks till are are cured well as indicated by symptomatic relief and overall recovery, feeling good, proper appetite and so on.
Take boiled and cooled water.
Plenty of fruit juices, multivitamins to have an early and proper recovery.
