I think she needs detailed evaluation, reasons being
1. Her immuno compromised state may lead to tb as India is endemic
2. Typhoid per se can have extraintestinal manifestation in lungs
Next Steps
- sputum AFB and Gene xpert if negative, definitely need urgent evaluation
Health Tips
- take antacid like pan 40 mg OD/omeparazole 20mg BD half hour before meals as long as antibiotics are consumed
