Clinical features

Typhoid is predominantly an infection of children and young adults, affecting both sexes equally. The incubation period ranges from 3 to 60 days, but most infections occur 7 to 14 days after exposure.
The main focus of typhoid is in the small bowel, but systemic symptoms often overshadow abdominal symptoms.

The predominant symptom is the fever which rises gradually to a high plateau of 39 to 40°C, and shows little diurnal variation. Rigors are uncommon, except in late or complicated typhoid or in patients treated with antipyretics.

Most patients complain of headache and malaise. Constipation is a frequent early symptom. Most patients will experience diarrhoea and typhoid can present as an acute gastroenteritis. Severe diarrhoea or colitis has been reported in HIV-infected patients. Bloody diarrhoea may be seen. The abdominal pain is usually diffuse and poorly localized but occasionally sufficiently intense in the right iliac fossa to suggest appendicitis. Nausea and vomiting are infrequent in uncomplicated typhoid but are seen with abdominal distension in severe cases. Other early symptoms include cough, sore throat, and epistaxes."

so answer is headache
