We might need to look for other causes of fever and need to treat it. A detailed assessment is needed to find the cause of fever in your case.

Miss lybrate-user as your father is diabetic and elderly, I suggest you to run few more investigation and try to fins out other source of infection irrespective of thyphoid. I would like to add this if the blood sugars are not under control then the infection control will be delayed and once the infection is subsided get done all the elderly vaccination.
