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
