Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
If fever is back after the medication is over but no diarrhea or blood with stools than very likely the child might be going through another infection and very likely a viral infection.
On the other hand, if you are concerned you might consider sending him back to the doctor to make sure he is completely healed from typhoid or not. They might need to do stool cultures and other stool tests in this case
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
