I am having Typhoid.
I was suffering from fever since 2 days and when did a blood test it turns out to be typhoid at the initial stage. The doctor is advising to take drips for three days. But I am not sure. Can you please suggest alternative treatments?

There's no alternative treatment other than what your physician suggest, just follow his medications, rest, take plenty of water, there's nothing wrong in taking drips.
Next Steps
follow proper diet, avoid spicy food, drink butter milk, tender coconut water frequently, this need to be followed for 2 to 3 months to get stabilized completely
