Need more details
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
I need more details about the symptoms. When did the fever start? Does he have any other symptoms? I can see that your friend has medical history of typhoid. Has he been tested for this infection now(after the start of these symptoms)? If not please get tested for it.
If this test is negative then more testing may be needed.
Please upload the reports for me.

Needs more evaluation.

Hi again
I have seen the reports and these are normal.
The symptoms hardly pinpoint to a particular diagnosis. One thing that comes to mind is parasitic infection.
Another cause can be a complication of dengue. A test for CK (creatine kinase) may be done to see the chance of myositis. Please provide more details about type of pain in legs. Seeing a surgeon can help.
The indigestion and low appetite can be due to the above infections. or it can be a separate condition. Complete stool examination including ova and cysts, culture and sensitivity may be needed. Treatment can be better done after the reports of stool test.
Meanwhile he should take hygienic food and cleanest drinking water.
