Question 1

Hello doctor, I am currently undergoing treatment for pleural tuberculosis and have completed 2 months of therapy. I still have a mild fever of 99 to 99.5. My doctor told me to go for a Widal test and after the test he prescribed me cefixime and ofloxacin tablet. Doctor, I am attaching my Widal test report. Can you look at it? Thank you in advance.

Question 2

I was tested for typhoid about 25 days ago, and at that time my Widal test showed O type 1:160 and H type 1:160. I recently got tested again, and now all other types are negative except O type, which is still showing 1:160. I would like to know the reason behind this. What should I do next, and what kind of food should I eat during this recovery period?

Question 3

I tested COVID 19 positive and completed all prescribed medications while staying in home quarantine. For the last 7 to 8 days, I have been experiencing severe fatigue and a mild fever (99 to 100F). Yesterday, I tested positive for Typhoid. I am unsure if this is a lingering effect of COVID 19 or a true Typhoid infection. My Typhoid test results are:
AH: 1:80
BH: 1:80
TH: 1:160
TO: 1:320
Should I start antibiotics for Typhoid? Do I need any further tests to confirm the infection?

Widal positive (more than 1:80) with symptoms suggests typhoid. Start antibiotics only under doctor supervision. Also, rule out dengue or COVID if fever persists.
