Typhoid fever typically lasts for about 1 to 2 weeks with proper treatment. However, weakness and fatigue can continue for a few more weeks even after the fever subsides.
This happens because the body takes time to recover from the infection. Proper rest, nutrition, and hydration are important during this phase.
Gradual recovery is normal, but if symptoms persist for too long, it’s advisable to follow up with a doctor.
