I have been having fever and a little weakness for the past 5 days. I was prescribed medicines for the same. I did a blood checkup today. Urine and hematology reports reveal normal results. But results of WIDAL SLIDE mention S. Typhi 'O' as positive (1:80). Do I have typhoid? I am travelling out of the country in 3 days and need inputs asap.

A titer of 1:80 may indicate early typhoid or past exposure. If you are improving, continue meds. Stay hydrated. Repeat Widal or consider TyphiDot test if fever persists.
