I had a tetanus injection about 2 months back, and now I've got a small cut on my hand from an aluminum strip. Do I need to get another tetanus shot for this?

I'm looking at my Widal test results and I'm a bit confused. It mentions Salmonella typhi O at 140 dilutions, Salmonella typhi H at 120 dilutions, and similarly for Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh at 120 dilutions. Is this indicating a typhoid infection? Also, what kind of diet should I follow if it is? I could really use some guidance here.

The Widal test report you have provided shows positive results for Salmonella typhi O at 1:40 dilution and Salmonella typhi H at 1:20 dilution, indicating a possible typhoid fever infection. The presence of these antibodies suggests exposure to the bacteria causing typhoid fever. To treat typhoid fever, antibiotics are usually prescribed. In this case, you can take a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin. A diet rich in fluids, including water, broth, and oral rehydration solutions, is recommended. You can also include soft, bland foods such as boiled vegetables, rice, and yogurt. Avoid spicy, fried, and heavy foods that may irritate your stomach. Remember to rest adequately and follow your doctor's advice for a full recovery.
