My Widal test report shows: S. Typhi O: 1:160 (positive) S. Typhi H: 1:80 (positive) I took medication for typhoid, but I still experienced headache, nausea, and giddiness. I consulted another doctor, who said the Widal report may not be reliable and it could just be a viral fever. Could you please clarify whether this report indicates typhoid or not?

A Widal titer of 1:160 could suggest typhoid, but false positives are common. Persistent symptoms may indicate viral or another bacterial infection. Clinical correlation is essential. Repeat Widal test and perform CBC, Typhidot and blood culture.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Typhidot Test Test

Hello I was diagnosed with typhoid in August. From that day till now I have visited many doctors and I am still using antibiotics. Today I got my blood sample tested again for typhoid and it is still showing positive. I am still feeling weakness and have lost around 10 kg in these 3 months. I am attaching my report. Please can anyone tell me how many days it will take to recover completely? Answer will be appreciated. Thank you.
