I have been experiencing body pains for the past 5 days and developed a fever yesterday after traveling. Today, I had a Widal test, and the results are O: 1:80, H: 1:80. What treatment is required?

Widal test O and H 1:80 is borderline. If symptoms improve, no antibiotics are needed. Hydration and rest are enough unless advised otherwise.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Widal Test Test

Hi Doctor, I received my Widal test report, which shows O is 1:160 and H is 1:80. I am experiencing only a cold, cough, and occasional weakness. Please let me know if this indicates typhoid.

Hello I was diagnosed with typhoid in August. From that day till now I have visited many doctors and I am still using antibiotics. Today I got my blood sample tested again for typhoid and it is still showing positive. I am still feeling weakness and have lost around 10 kg in these 3 months. I am attaching my report. Please can anyone tell me how many days it will take to recover completely? Answer will be appreciated. Thank you.
