I recently had a blood test for Typhidot IgM, and the result came back reactive, but I never experienced fever or other typical typhoid symptoms. I have started taking medicines, but now I feel weak and dizzy. Could you please explain what a reactive Typhidot IgM result means? Does it definitely mean I have typhoid? What should I do next?

False positives can occur. If no clinical signs, it may not be typhoid. Weakness post viral or after antibiotics is common.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a WIDAL TEST (TUBE METHOD) Test

I am having back pain since long and my skin under my eyes burns when I close my eyes. I had a blood report a month back but my parents are not telling me what it is. I overheard them saying that I would not live for more than four years. Please help me, I feel like I am already dying. I have been suggested to have bitter gourd and spinach, all things boiled?

Yesterday, my father underwent fistula surgery. That night, he developed a fever. His blood report shows an increased WBC count. Could this be a sign of COVID 19? Please suggest what we should do.
