My mom had typhoid fever two weeks ago. She was given a four-day course of injections, after which she was discharged and started on oral antibiotics. However, she still has loose motions and no appetite. Why is her recovery taking so long?

You need to get her admitted if she is not eating and loose motion are persisting.
Next Steps
Repeat routine tests, get fever panel and blood/urine/stool culture. The treatment needs to be optimised as per patients condition.
