Hi,
Welcome to HCM
You suffered Typhoid 2 month ago and took antibiotics for it.
Joint pain,headache and weakness but no fever hence it may not be typhoid because simply typhoid imroves in 2 to 3 week time maximum and if there is no infection even antibiotics do not work.
It is advisable to visit a good Physician near by and get complete phycal examination and appropriate investigation would be done and once diagnosis is confirmed treatment can be given and you will improve in few days time.
It is not correct to take lot of antibiotics without proper indications.
Take care
Good Luck
