HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, the typhoid can cause vomiting, fever and loss of appetite.
There are over the counter medications that can be used to help reduce the vomiting.
You should concentrate on using small amount of fluids.
If you use large quantities then you may continue to vomit. If the small quantities (1 tbs every 5 mins) is tolerated , then you can increase this.
When the vomiting stops then you can restart solid food.
I hope this helps
