Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you was diagnosed of typhoid and advised to take injectable antibiotics for 10 days followed with oral antibiotics.
As you have been shifted from injectable antibiotics to oral antibiotics you need to complete the oral antibiotics and You should keep taking them until 3 consecutive negative stool and urine tests have been obtained.
If the stool samples continues to show typhoid bacilli, then you need to think.
The symptoms will comedown, drink lots of water and you can an take antipyretics,after consulting your doctor.
Thank you.
