Dear doctor, if typhoid is positive in the lab report, is hospital admission required, or can I take antibiotic injections in the morning and evening on a day care basis like a general OP patient? Please advise. If admission and IV fluids are required, how many days will it take to cure?

Typhoid can often be treated without hospital admission if the patient is stable and eating well. Severity and hospital stay can be best decided by the consulting doctor. Please follow as advised. Recovery with antibiotics and fluids typically takes 7 to 10 days.

Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing fever and headache without any cough, runny nose, or sore throat. I consulted a doctor who initially suspected dengue and advised me to take paracetamol. However, after receiving my lab report, it shows no signs of dengue. The concern is that for the past few days, my fever only goes down temporarily with paracetamol. What could be the cause, and what should I do next?

Could you please check my recent test reports and let me know if there are any issues with MCV, ESR, lymphocytes, or liver and kidney function tests? I am also experiencing white patches on my skin and would like guidance on possible causes or next steps.

Good Evening, Doctor. My mother recent blood report shows an elevated PDW value. Should we be concerned and get it checked further? She is also going through menopause (her periods stopped around 4 months ago). Could this be related? I have attached the report for your review. Thank you in advance.
