HI, Pain in the legs and joints after typhoid are due to weakness developed in the body after suffering from the infection. Eat nutritious food - rich in protein so as to gain strength. Consume lot of fresh and dry fruits. Take adequate rest. Apply analgesic gels or sprays to the affected areas twice or thrice a day.

You should use simple analgesics like paracetamol or anti inflammatories like diclofenac for 5-7 days. You may be suffering from post-infectious reactive arthritis. This commonly occurs after a bout of stomach infection, like typhoid. Usually it will subside in few days to weeks, but if it becomes unduly severe or does not respond to simple meds you will need expert treatment for it.
