Question 1

I recently had a Typhidot IgM test, which came back weak positive two days ago. My father arranged for a railway doctor in my hometown, who, after reviewing my report, prescribed Azithromycin 1 gm in the morning and Levofloxacin 750 mg at night. Today is my second day of medication and the sixth day of typhoid symptoms. My fever goes down after taking the medicines, but a mild fever (98.8 to 99.1F) returns after 8 to 9 hours. I am very nervous because of the many negative stories about typhoid online, and I am alone in Delhi. I am concerned whether this dose is appropriate or too high, and whether this treatment is safe and effective.

Question 2

I have been experiencing continuous headache for the past 4 to 5 days along with intermittent fever. My malaria test is negative, and according to the lab assistant, my typhoid test is positive. My typhoid report shows:
O: 1:120
TH: 1:60
BH and AH: Not detected
I am confused whether this indicates typhoid or not, and if not, what could be causing my headache and fever? Please advise.

Question 3

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, in my Widal test report S Typhi O is written 1:160 positive and others Typhi H, Typhi AH, and Typhi BH are negative. What does it mean? From which disease am I suffering?

Suggests possible recent typhoid infection. 1:160 can indicate early infection. Consult doctor for antibiotics if symptoms persist.
