Hi,
It might take a few days for fever to get reduced. Generally the treatment will be for 7 days for typhoid and recurring of fever even after taking medication is seen sometimes. This is called relapse. Sometimes, fever might also recur after 2-3 months also.
Continue taking the prescribed medication and complete the course to ensure complete eradication of the bacteria. Also, maintaining good hygiene is very important - avoid outside food, avoid oily and high fat diet, wash hands properly before eating, drink boiled water.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
