I have been having a fever for the past 5 days. I got my blood tests done, including Tiofad and BE. Should I also get a COVID test? Can I start treatment with Tiofad now?

A Tiofad+ result confirms typhoid. If fever persists despite treatment, re evaluation is needed to rule out resistance or complications. Consider COVID test if new symptoms like cough or breathlessness occur. Consult your doctor to reassess treatment.
