I recently found out I have typhoid and I'm on medication for it, but I've also lost almost 8 kgs of weight. Is this something that's normal with typhoid, or should I be worried about this weight loss?

I've been dealing with some awful symptoms lately. I've got a headache and leg pain that are just unbearable, and on top of that, I had loose motion about 23 times this morning. I'm also running a fever. I'm really worried about what's going on. Can you please give me some advice on what this might be and what I should do?

I've been dealing with this fever for over a week and already consulted a doctor. They had me do a Widal test, and the results were at S. Thphi O 1160, S. Thphi H 1160, S. Para thphi AH 180, and S. Para thphi BH 180, with the malaria parasite being negative. After the consultation, I was prescribed Taxim 200, Paracetamol 650, Femotodine 40, and Pan 40 to take for seven days. Now that I've completed the course, I'm still experiencing full body aches, a burning sensation in my stomach, a low-grade fever, and symptoms of dehydration and anxiety. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Should I take the medication again or consult the doctor another time? My diet mainly includes rice with buttermilk, fruits, and milk. What would you suggest?

Interpretation of your widal tests are borderline. Can be a baseline titres as india is endemic or an evolving disease. need to know more about the symptoms, the course of illness and the details of the test.
