Yes, it’s normal to feel weak even after the fever settles in typhoid. Recovery takes 1–3 weeks. Focus on light nutritious food, good hydration, proper rest, and gentle activity as strength returns. As long as fever doesn’t come back, this is part of normal healing.
Next Steps
Eat simple, easily digestible meals (rice, dal, curd, fruits).
• Add some protein gradually (egg, pulses, fish/chicken soup if you take non-veg) to rebuild strength.
• Drink plenty of fluids — water, soups, coconut water.
• Rest well — your body heals best when you sleep and avoid stress.
• A short gentle walk each day (when you feel ready) will slowly restore stamina.
Health Tips
As long as there is no fresh fever, severe abdominal pain, or worsening weakness, this recovery pattern is expected.

Dear Naresh, whatever may be the fever, weakness is part of the recovery process. Antibiotics while targeting the disease associated bacteria also destroy the normal bacterial flora necessary for our health.
Hence rest assured, you should recuperate well in few days. Sleep early and go on a digital detox...means no screentime. Simple rice based vegetarian food will help you regain strength.
For detailed food preferences and what to avoid please consult through appointment.

Weakness after typhoid is due to prolonged fever, nutritional loss, and body recovery demands. Adequate rest, hydration, high-protein easily digestible diet, vitamins, and gradual return to activity help regain strength.

After typhoid, it is common to feel weak and tired for several weeks, even after the fever is gone. This happens because the infection and its treatment drain the body’s energy reserves and can disturb appetite and digestion.
Why Weakness Happens
The body uses a lot of energy to fight the infection, leading to fatigue and muscle weakness.
Digestion may remain sluggish for some time, making it hard to regain energy quickly.
Appetite and food intake often decrease during the illness, contributing to weakness
Next Steps
To overcome this weakness:
1. Eat light, nutritious, easy-to-digest food.
2. Drink plenty of fluids.
3. Rest well and avoid strenuous work.
4. Gradually return to normal activities.
5. Most people feel better in 4 to 6 weeks with proper care
Health Tips
You May Even Develop Some Pain in Eyes As well
so it's better to consult an Ophthalmologist for this Issue
Thank You
