If you have a definitive,proven diagnosis of Typhus the the treatment regime you have been prescribed is gold standard. Your prescription (If I have understood you correctly), includes an appropriate antibiotic, anti-vomiting medicine and medicine to control fever. You should take this medication as instructed.

Food at this stage of your illness is not important BUT maintaining an adequate fluid intake of at least 2.5-3 litres a day is VERY important. (Ideally use an oral rehydration medicine -----available cheaply from the local pharmacy)

If you are unable to maintain an adequate fluid intake because of vomiting you must URGENTLY return to the hospital.

PS

Typhus is usually caused by caused by rat flea bites. The name of the disease and the treatment is exactly the same in Europe.
