Hello there. If you are diagnosing that you have typhoid, then I cannot say anything. The symptoms of typhoid usually are a high fever, sometimes with chills and rigors. In typhoid fever you can have body aches, there is usually a evening rise in temperature and also night sweats. On examining, there would be relative bradycardia. Consult a physician and get examined and then go for relevant tests rather than diagnosing yourself. If you indeed have a typhoid then the physician would treat you accordingly. Regards
