Course of Typhoid:
It's an infection of GUT Even if diagnosed early and treated well with best antibiotics it take 7-10 days to get cured ,some times it can also go to chronic stage which may not be symptomatic but bug stays there.
Cough ,sore throat:
Having Dry cough and rarely cough with sputum is a common sequellae of Typhoid feveer and patients often report it.
Is feeling Ill normal:
Yes almost hundred percent of patients report feeling ill ,lethargic and weak even after their treatment has been completed its because of high grade of fever which frequently have occured during course of illness and low diet and heavy duty meds given to patients.
