I'm feeling really weak and lazy after recovering from typhoid. It's like I'm always tired and can barely keep my eyes open. I even get these mild headaches now and then. Is this normal after typhoid, or should I be worried? What can I do to feel better?

Following typhoid recovery, it's common to experience lingering weakness, fatigue, and laziness due to the body's depleted nutrient reserves and the lingering effects of the infection; to alleviate these symptoms, ensure adequate rest, hydration, and nutrition, including foods rich in iron, vitamins B12 and D, and protein

I've noticed this painful lump in my left armpit for the last two days. It's small, not something you can really see from the outside, but you can definitely feel it when you press down. There's some mild pain when I do that. Could it be something serious?

Its possible that the lump in your armpit could be a swollen lymph node or a minor cyst, which are usually not serious. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's best to see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I'm just wondering, how many Meftal Forte tablets can I take during COVID? My doctor suggested I take them twice daily for three days along with antibiotics and a PPI. He recommended Meftal Forte instead of Dolo 650, and I don't have any other symptoms except a fever. After those three days, is it okay to take Meftal Forte on an as-needed basis?

yes ,continue all the medications as advised..
