Thanks to HCM
I can understand your concern

being lactating mother ,you need to undergo investigations like CBP.ESR,WIDAL and MP tests ..which indicate cause of fever normally

but try to wane slowly the lactation for your child
typhoid may repeat after 1st attack

plz use paracetamol,antibiotic like cefixime o200mg for 5 days .
normally it will subside ..don't worry

if persistent fever plz check the investigations and consult your family doctor or HCM , DONT WORRY
