I got married recently and my periods have been delayed for three days. I have severe fever in the evening and night for the past 8 days. My blood report suggests typhoid 1:40 dilution. Can I take Taximo 200 mg? Is it safe or should I avoid it?

A dilution of 1:40 may not confirm typhoid. If symptoms persist, further evaluation is needed. Taximo (cefixime) is generally safe but should be taken under doctor guidance.

Hi, I recently received my Widal test report and other blood counts. The results are: S. Typhi O: 1:160 S. Typhi H: 1:80 S. Paratyphi AH: 1:20 S. Paratyphi BH: 1:20 Total WBC Count: 12,200 cells/cu.mm Platelet Count: 2.71 lakhs/cu.mm Could you please help me interpret these results? Do they indicate typhoid infection or something else?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

In my blood report S. typhi 1:80 is shown. I have been having fever for one week, which usually comes in the afternoon or evening and starts with chills. My doctor suggested me to take Emal injection for 3 days, and I have already taken one, but I am still concerned about my fever.
