A positive Salmonella Typhi test indicates typhoid infection. This condition typically requires prompt antibiotic treatment and proper hydration. Whether it needs hospital admission or can be managed at home depends on severity, fever pattern, and blood parameters. Please consult a physician for appropriate evaluation and care.
