Sir, I noticed red spots on my palms yesterday, and today they have spread to my feet. Could you please help me understand what the problem might be and its cause? I am awaiting my blood test report, but these spots have spread a lot over the past two days. Apart from medical treatment, what additional precautions should I take at home until I get my report? Kindly help

I recently had a blood test for Typhidot IgM, and the result came back reactive, but I never experienced fever or other typical typhoid symptoms. I have started taking medicines, but now I feel weak and dizzy. Could you please explain what a reactive Typhidot IgM result means? Does it definitely mean I have typhoid? What should I do next?
