Hello,
Welcome o HCM,

As you are having fever for last few month it may be a fever of unknown origin (FUO) which should be thoroughly evaluated to find out the causes for the fever. As you are having for last few month all the relevant investigations should be done to rule out the cause of fever.

As your doctor has prescribed paracetamol to reduce the fever, this drug will act for 6 hours and it will control the fever for this duration but it cannot cure the condition. The source of infection should be found out by the investigations.

To confirm it has typhoid after having fever for last few month you should undergo stool and urine culture to confirm it. There are many conditions which can lead to fever of more than one month which should be evaluated thoroughly.

Thank you.
