I was diagnosed with typhoid and admitted to a hospital for two days, but I did not experience any typical symptoms of typhoid apart from a mild fever that lasted for one week. My Widal test report showed Typhoid H and S at 1:80. Could this mean I was truly suffering from typhoid?

A Widal titre of 1:80 is not confirmatory for typhoid. It may indicate past exposure. If symptoms were mild and improved, it may have been viral.

Sir, I am a 28 year old male. Fifteen days ago, I had a fever, and the doctor ordered a blood test. Typhoid was positive, and my direct bilirubin level was elevated, while total bilirubin was normal. For the past three days, I have had slight stomach upset and nausea. Please help me. What should I do? I have attached my bilirubin test report.
