Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent cough and cold after suffering from typhoid fever which could be due to poor immunity of body which is leading to allergic bronchitis, chronic pulmonary disease, tuberculosis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get chest X-ray done. Go for blood and sputum test first and get it examined. Go for pulmonary function tests as well. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. I would suggest you to take combination of antihistamine and antibiotic drugs. Take steam inhalation as well. You should take cough expectorants. Take proper course of antibiotics. Sip on warm water. Avoid cold drinks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
