I am feeling fever, chills in the body, tiredness, and gastric issues for the last 10 days. As per doctor suggestion I went for CBC and Widal test. Platelet count is 550, monocytes are 12:20, and all other CBC report is good. I am attaching the Widal test report. Is it typhoid fever or something else?

Slightly high platelets and monocytes could indicate infection or inflammation. Widal test interpretation depends on titers. If Widal is non specific, further tests may be needed.

Take a TYPHIDOT IgG AND IgM Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

Dear doctor, if typhoid is positive in the lab report, is hospital admission required, or can I take antibiotic injections in the morning and evening on a day care basis like a general OP patient? Please advise. If admission and IV fluids are required, how many days will it take to cure?

My hemoglobin is low, and I am experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding. My gynecologist has suggested removing the uterus. Could you please advise if this is the only option, or if there are alternative treatments to manage heavy bleeding and improve hemoglobin levels?
