My mother has been having fever for the past 33 days. When she takes medication, the fever temporarily goes away, but it returns after some time. She also has diabetes and thyroid issues and is experiencing significant body pain. Her recent test report indicates typhoid fever. How can we effectively treat this, and are there any further tests we should consider?

Recurrent fever needs thorough evaluation. Typhoid may require prolonged antibiotics, but persistent symptoms can suggest reinfection or another cause. Please consult your doctor for a detailed plan and further tests. Repeat typhoid test and perform blood culture, CBC & and CRP to evaluate any underlying infection.

I have been experiencing sneezing episodes every early morning and at night for several days. Last Tuesday evening, I developed cold and fever with chills. The next day, a physician diagnosed it as a viral infection and prescribed azithromycin and oseltamivir. The fever has subsided, but the cold is still persisting. Today, my Widal test came back positive with a titre of 1:160. However, I understand that Widal can be falsely positive in viral infections. What should I do next?

My mother has been suffering from fever for the past 3 days. Her blood test report shows S. Typhi O 1:160 and S. Typhi H 1:80. Her platelet count is 1.74 lakhs per cumm. Please guide me about this report.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Widal report shows S. Paratyphi A from 1/20 to 1/160 are all positive, S. Typhi H and O are positive at 1/20, and S. Paratyphi B is negative. All other sections are negative. Do I have typhoid disease? What should I do regarding this? Is it in a lethal or dangerous condition or is there no need to be anxious?
