General Surgeon,  's  Response
hello,
I can understand your concern for your symptoms.
1) history of diarrhea and abdominal pain in second week of typhoid fever might be due to typhoid enteritis.
2) person develop inflammation (redness and swelling) in last part of small intestine due to thyphoid bacteria. Sometimes this might lead to ulcer formation
3) having takentab Cefixime warrants use of injectable therapy for recent episodes of symptoms.
4) I would recommend you to consult a general surgeon with necessary further evaluation in form of USG abdomen or CT scan abdomen with repeat test for thyphoid bacteria.

Hope I answered your query. If you have any further doubts, I would be happy to help you.
Have a nice day!
