Question 1

My wife was diagnosed with typhoid fever 3 days ago, but she has been ill for the past week. The doctor prescribed Taximo 400 twice daily and Calpol 650 for fever. However, her fever has remained steady between 101 to 104F for the last 3 days. I am attaching the test report. Could you please advise if we need to worry or consider changing the medication? The doctor mentioned that this might be a rare type of typhoid.

Question 2

I visited the hospital this morning and received my lab report. It shows that my Salmonella typhi H antibody titer is 1:40.

Question 3

Hello I was diagnosed with typhoid in August. From that day till now I have visited many doctors and I am still using antibiotics. Today I got my blood sample tested again for typhoid and it is still showing positive. I am still feeling weakness and have lost around 10 kg in these 3 months. I am attaching my report. Please can anyone tell me how many days it will take to recover completely? Answer will be appreciated. Thank you.

I recently had a Widal test, and the results are: O: 1:80 H: 1:40 AH: 1:20 BH: 1:20 I currently have no fever, but my local doctor says the test is positive. Could you please advise what I should do next?

These titers are borderline, without symptoms, this does not confirm typhoid. Repeat Widal only if symptoms develop. False positives are common.
