I recently found out I have typhoid and I'm on medication for it, but I've also lost almost 8 kgs of weight. Is this something that's normal with typhoid, or should I be worried about this weight loss?

View allI've been feeling really off since having a COVID infection back in April. It's strange because since around May 21st, I've been feeling really dizzy, almost like being in a moving bus or train, and I've been experiencing extreme weakness. My symptoms also include a dry cough and an evening fever that hovers between 99.4 to 99.8 degrees. My pulse rate shoots up to 170 just from climbing stairs, and I've even had some chest pain here and there. Luckily, my appetite is still okay. I got an X-ray done and was wondering if there's any sign of infection. A while back, my CRP was 14.65, and though I haven't tested it again lately, my ECG was normal. My CBC showed a WBC count of 11,500, with hemoglobin at 10.6. Everything else looked fine, and I've tested negative for typhoid and malaria. Just trying to figure out what's going on with me. Any insights?

I've taken three pills of Curam, which I know has 500mg of amoxicillin, for my cold, but now I'm dealing with headaches. I'm kind of worried if I should keep taking them or just stop altogether. What should I do here?
