Question 1

I recently had a Typhidot IgM test, which came back weak positive two days ago. My father arranged for a railway doctor in my hometown, who, after reviewing my report, prescribed Azithromycin 1 gm in the morning and Levofloxacin 750 mg at night. Today is my second day of medication and the sixth day of typhoid symptoms. My fever goes down after taking the medicines, but a mild fever (98.8 to 99.1F) returns after 8 to 9 hours. I am very nervous because of the many negative stories about typhoid online, and I am alone in Delhi. I am concerned whether this dose is appropriate or too high, and whether this treatment is safe and effective.

Question 2

My widal test report of typhoid is typhi O 1:40 and typhi H 1:160. What does this mean?

Question 3

My daughter is 5 years old. Her Widal test report shows S. Typhi O 1:60 (Positive), S. Typhi H 1:80 (Positive), S. Para Typhi AH 1:20 (Negative), and S. Para Typhi BH 1:20 (Negative). Is this typhoid high, medium, or low? Are there any common medicines she should take? Should we change her food and water habits?

Hi, I got my father report done for fever, but I am not sure how to interpret it regarding typhoid. The Widal test (tube method) results are TO is 1:60 TH is less than 1:30 AH is 1:120 BH is less than 1:30 Could you please help me understand whether these results indicate typhoid or not?

TO 1:60 and AH 1:120 suggest past or mild infection but not conclusive for typhoid. Clinical symptoms and blood culture are more reliable.
