Hello, Negative reports of plasmodium vivax and falciparum rule out malaria. The medicine prescribed ( CEPODEM O ) is all right for typhoid and is given for 10-14 days. Diet involves light home made food,avoiding spicy and fatty foods. Recover time is usually 2 weeks for fever and another 3-4 weeks for complete recovery. There is no problem in taking bath. Thanks
