Hi
Really I am concerned about your illness typhoid fever is usually caused by Salmonellae typhi or para typhi bacteria usually through contaminated water. Since you have already taken antibiotics so I will advice you to go for stool culture, Blood test Widal to know exact position of infections. Since you already took so many antibiotics The next generation fluoroquinolone gatifloxacin are sometimes more effective in typhoid fever. Change your water source or go for boiled or treated water for some days
