Antibiotics like cefixime or azithromycin are used, but treatment must be prescribed by a doctor after evaluating symptoms and Widal titers.

Take a Widal Test Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

I have a Widal test report. TO is 1:160 positive, TH is negative, AH is negative, and BH is negative. I took Ciprobid 500 mg tablet twice a day for 10 days. The doctor asked me to stop the tablets for seven days and get the report again, saying it may become negative. Is this possible? I need to submit a negative report for my foreign employment as a hotelier. My physician said it is impossible and that TO can remain the same without any rise for a long time.

Hi doctor, I received my Widal test report which shows S. Typhi O 1:160 and S. Typhi H 1:80. The report result is marked as positive. What types of medicine should I take, and what precautions should I follow?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Typhoid has been cured, as confirmed by my non reactive test report, but I am still experiencing mild fever. I have consulted two doctors, but there has been no improvement.
