Question

I'm really confused about my situationI've been feeling weak for the past two weeks. When I went to the doctor, they said it's likely a viral infection. But I'm also dealing with congestion in my head and ears, like there's something similar to a cough. After five days of taking meds, nothing's changed. The doc suggested a blood and urine test; everything came out normal except my S Typhi O levels, which are 1160 positive. Does this mean I have typhoid? I'm not running a fever, though, my temperature is just around 97. Could this still be typhoid even without a fever?

Based on your symptoms and the positive result for S Typhi O, it is possible that you have a mild form of typhoid fever. Even though you do not have a high fever, a positive S Typhi O test result at 1:160 indicates exposure to the bacteria that cause typhoid. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is completely cleared. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

Question

I'm 19 and I've noticed my head feels hot in the mornings and evenings, but I don't have a fever. My temperature usually reads between 97.6 and 98.5, but I often get headaches in the evening and sometimes lose my appetite. What could be causing these symptoms?

Question

When is the right time to take Meftal Forte if you have a fever? How many times a day is it okay to take it? Should I only use it when I actually have a fever or is there another guideline to follow?

Question

I've been having fevers off and on and it's been accompanied by weakness, body aches, and shortness of breath. Sometimes my eyes get really itchy too. When my fever hits, my throat gets sore and I have this really annoying pain in my legs, especially below the knees and around my feet. I've noticed these symptoms reduce a bit when I take the EBASIL tablets my doctor gave me. Also, I work as a civil engineer so I'm constantly around dust. Could this be affecting my symptoms? Should I be worried about what's causing all this?
