About 10 days ago, I tested positive for typhoid. However, I did not have a fever, my main symptoms were weakness, vomiting, and gastric issues. My Typhi Dot IgM was positive, and the titre was slightly elevated. I took Doxcef O for 10 days and also received the typhoid vaccine. Despite this, I still feel like vomiting after eating, and I am experiencing leg pain and overall weakness. This is the first time I have had typhoid, and someone mentioned that I might have become a chronic carrier, which has made me anxious. Is this a serious issue, or can it be fully cured? How long does recovery usually take? I have attached my report for your review.

Chronic carrier state is rare and usually only if symptoms persist for months. Continue hydration, bland diet, rest. Vomiting and weakness should resolve in 1 to 3 weeks.

Hi, could you please evaluate my LFT report results and let me know if there is anything to be seriously concerned about? For your information, I have always been a non smoker and non drinker. This is my second LFT, the previous one was done 30 days ago, after which I was prescribed Udiliv 150 twice a day and was advised to repeat the test. Based on the current results, do you think I should continue taking Udiliv 150 or stop it?

I am experiencing gas and acute constipation. My recent USG report is normal, but my blood tests show SGOT: 66 U/L and SGPT: 71 U/L. I have also noticed soiling on my feet and fingers.
