Kindly follow the treatment as directed by your treating doctor. The platelet count has to be corrected and the typhoid has to come under control. It will take time but it will get better once all the strains are under control
Next Steps
Follow the steps as advised
Health Tips
If condition persists or worsens visit the ER at the earliest
