HI.
The abdominal pain in cases of Typhoid on day 3 is usually die to the complication like inflamed part of the terminal ilieum due to Payer's patches , leaking out of this area or perforation of this part due to typhoid ulcer.
This is not a drug reaction.
I would advise you to rush to ER to get X-ray of the abdomen in standing position to see for the sign of air under the diaphragm as a sign of perforation of the small intestine, ultrasonograph, clinical evaluation and further management .
