Question 1

My 2 year 10 month old child has been having fever for the last 4 days. We did CBC and urine tests, which were normal, and dengue and malaria tests, which were negative. The fever subsided on the 5th day but returned on the 6th day, with the child head and body feeling very hot and temperatures above 101F. After taking Paracetamol 250 mg, the temperature temporarily reduced, but it rises again after about 6 hours.

Question 2

I am experiencing continuous vomiting as soon as I eat, along with fever and extreme weakness. My Widal test report shows:
Salmonella Paratyphi O: 1:80
Salmonella Paratyphi H: 1:80
Salmonella Paratyphi AH: 1:20
Salmonella Paratyphi BH: 1:20
Could you please help me understand what this means and what I should do next?

Question 3

Hi, my 7 year old niece is suffering from typhoid with a high fever of 103 to 104 degree. Today her blood report shows a hemoglobin count of 5.9. The pediatrician has given sodium drips and injections to lower the fever, but it is still 101 degree a few hours ago. I am very concerned about the low hemoglobin count. Please suggest immediate action?

Sir/Madam, could you please tell me the best test for diagnosing typhoid? This is for a 45 year old female. Thank you in advance.

For accurate detection of typhoid, the best test is the Typhoid IgM Antibody Test. It helps confirm recent infection and gives faster results than older methods. If fever is high and ongoing, a Blood Culture may also be advised by your doctor.
