I'm experiencing colds and some mild pain on both sides of my ribs. It's weird because even though I feel cold, I'm sweating a lot; maybe it's because the weather's hot? Could you help me figure out what's going on with me?

Can you tell me what the Widal test is? The doctor wanted me to do this test because I had a continuous fever, but my malaria test was negative. The result came back as 1320, but I haven't been able to meet the doctor since the test. I took this test about two weeks ago. I'm not sure what this means.
yes you can take it

I'm really anxious about something that's been happening to me recently. A few days ago, I suddenly came down with a fever, which was really unusual because I haven't had a fever in a long time. What really worries me is that ever since that same evening, I've been struggling with shortness of breath. Yesterday, I went to see a doctor who ran some tests. My ECG and X-ray came out normal, but the Widal test showed I have typhoid, so now I'm in the hospital. It's been a day without a fever, but I still feel like I'm struggling to breathe, especially when I try to do even light physical activities. I found some stuff online that says having shortness of breath with typhoid could be a serious complication and usually happens around the third week of the illness. Can you shed some light on this for me? I'm kind of worried about what's going on.
An SGPT level of 73 is slightly elevated, while your SGOT level is within the normal range. The SGOTSGPT ratio of 0.47 is lower than the typical range of 0.9-1.5, indicating potential liver stress. However, since all other liver function tests (LFTs) are normal, the risk is relatively low. Consult your doctor to discuss potential causes, such as fatty liver, medication side effects, or other factors. Your doctor may recommend further tests, like ultrasound or liver biopsy, to assess liver health. Regular monitoring of LFTs and addressing underlying causes can help mitigate potential risks.
