Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Upper back pain is not related to typhoid fever.
But it may occur due to prolonged confining to bed because of the disease.
Or it is due to strain of back muscle and bone.
You can try a painkiller such as ibuprofen in prescribed dose after food.
And consult the doctor for physical examination and further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
