Can I drink coconut water when I have a cold? If it's okay, how much should I be having each day to be good for my body?

I've been dealing with typhoid for the past couple of days, and I used to take Tarivid 200 mg tablets for it. Now I can't find them anywhere in the market. What should I do? Are there any alternatives you would recommend? Do I need a prescription for them? Any advice would be really appreciated.
