Hello doctor, I am currently undergoing treatment for pleural tuberculosis and have completed 2 months of therapy. I still have a mild fever of 99 to 99.5. My doctor told me to go for a Widal test and after the test he prescribed me cefixime and ofloxacin tablet. Doctor, I am attaching my Widal test report. Can you look at it? Thank you in advance.

Widal 1:160 O titer suggests possible typhoid, but result alone is not confirmatory. Continue antibiotics as advised.

I was tested for typhoid about 25 days ago, and at that time my Widal test showed O type 1:160 and H type 1:160. I recently got tested again, and now all other types are negative except O type, which is still showing 1:160. I would like to know the reason behind this. What should I do next, and what kind of food should I eat during this recovery period?

I have had a low grade fever for two months. My doctor advised some blood tests, which show typhoid, WBC count of 16,000, and ESR of 70. What should I do?
