Hi, the cause of fever could be many, in your so case as you said he suffered from typhoid 14 days back, it could be again reoccurrence of typhoid but unless we look into hi other symptoms it will be difficult to say. It is good that you have started paracetamol to control fever but starting antibiotic without confirming what is the cause behind fever will make that antibiotic ineffective.
