Hi
Welcome to HCM!
You must avoid alcohol till you recover completely.

The fact that your liver and spleen are enlarged due bto typhoid that means these organs are already diseased and on top of this if you consume alcohol whatever may be the quantity and quality it may be causing more harm to your liver.
Besides there are certain antibiotics used in the treatment of typhoid which may interact with alcohol producing toxic reactions.

So, in view of the above mentioned harmful effects, refrain from taking alcohol.
Take care of your precious health.
