Hi.

I doubt this is an ortho problem and has more to do with typhoid itself. Make sure you are well hydrated, and try your best to go about some leg and feet exercises. Visit your doctor and check to see if you need any added medications to help reduce the swelling. Let us wait to observe any changes in your leg as your typhoid subsides, if the swelling continues then we can go ahead and consult a nephrologist (kidney specialist) and finally an orthopedician if required.

Best wishes.
