General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Loss of appetite do persists for some days after typhoid infection.
If I were your treating doctor,I recommend
-Taking tonic multivitamin forte ,1 tab after dinner daily for 15 days.(to be taken on physician's prescription)
-maintaining hydration by taking oral rehydration solutio. for 2-3 days
-eat food in small amounts ,more frequently like every 2-3 hours.
-include more of liquid/semi solid food easy for digestion like fruit juice,thick soups,coconut water.
-can have a tablet of domperidone in morning before breakfast for 3 days.
-avoid spicy and fried food items


Organs like spleen and liver usually increase in size in infectious diseases due to increased workload on body.It would gradually go back to normal size.
Thanks and regards.
