Hi doctor, I received my Widal test report which shows S. Typhi O 1:160 and S. Typhi H 1:80. The report result is marked as positive. What types of medicine should I take, and what precautions should I follow?

These titres indicate recent typhoid infection. Antibiotics (e.g. cefixime) may be prescribed. Take fluids, rest, avoid spicy food. Repeat Widal after treatment if needed.

Sir, in my Widal test report S Typhi O is written 1:160 positive and others Typhi H, Typhi AH, and Typhi BH are negative. What does it mean? From which disease am I suffering?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Typhoid has been cured, as confirmed by my non reactive test report, but I am still experiencing mild fever. I have consulted two doctors, but there has been no improvement.
