HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Salmonella typhi is a bacterial infection that affects the gastrointestinal tract most commonly.
It is treated with a course of antibiotics. The response can vary from one person to the next but most persons recover well.
During treatment with the ongoing symptoms, he needs to try to maintain his nutritional status to prevent weight loss and improve outcome.
This can be done with a high calorie diet.
The fever can be related to this infection or the cold that he is experiencing.
I hope this helps
