Hello,
The itching that you are suffering from could be related to the previous infection, a condition known as infection-related urticaria. However, if your skin appears completely normal, then you will need several tests in order to ensure there is no specific organ related pathology.
Some of the tests include liver function tests with gammaGT, liver autoantibodies with ANA if LFTs inlcuding alk phos very abnormal (and raised bilirubin); thyroid function tests.
Typhoid and a viral hepatitis can very rarely co-exist or happen so it is important that viral heptitides are excluded.
The treatment will then depend on the results.
