My brother has typhoid, but the doctor prescribed me Tab Cifran 250, Tab Dolo 650, and Tab Becosules. I feel these tablets may not be proper. Can I take these tablets? My blood report shows Salmonella typhi O: 1:160, Salmonella typhi H: 1:160, Salmonella paratyphi AH: 1:20, and Salmonella paratyphi BH: 1:20. What precautions should be taken?

These are often given as prophylaxis or if mild infection suspected. If you are asymptomatic, treatment may not be necessary unless advised based on your Widal or symptoms.

How long do we need to take the medicine? How can I know if the treatment is completely effective, since I cannot see clear results in the Widal test?

My son, who is 5 years and 4 months old, has his Widal test results as follows, Salmonella typhi O 1:160 positive, Salmonella typhi H 1:80 positive, Salmonella typhi AH 1:80 positive, and Salmonella typhi BH 1:40 negative. Does this mean he has typhoid? What treatment should be followed?

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.
