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.

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.

I have done a Widal test, and the results are positive: S. Typhi O is 1:160 and S. Typhi H is 1:80. I am not having any fever at the moment. Are these values considered high, medium, or low? How long will it take to recover, and could you please suggest any appropriate treatment or medicines?

My Widal test report shows the following: Salmonella typhi O: 1:80 Salmonella typhi H: 1:80 Salmonella paratyphi AH: 1:20 Salmonella paratyphi BH: 1:20 Impression: Positive Please advise what this result indicates and the next steps for treatment.
