Hi,
Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection of intestine.In typhoid there will be small ulcers in intestine.So stomach ache and watery stool are common symptoms in typhoid.
Along with chloramphenicol you may give paracetamol if temperature is high.I suggested to follow strict diet for atleast one month.Diet you may follow are curd rice,idly,gravies without or very less oil,bland diets with low salt and no spicy,totally avoid pickles.If you follow strict diet only intestinal ulcers will heal soon.
