I had a fever last week (not continuous) along with a slight, constant headache for 3 to 4 days. After the fever broke, I did a blood test at a private clinic the next day. The Widal test report showed 1/160 Typhi O positive. The doctor prescribed Rabasec D SR, Cefixime, and Ofloxacin for 10 days, saying it was a slight case of typhoid. Is this treatment appropriate?

Widal test is not very reliable. If fever and symptoms matched, starting antibiotics was reasonable. A Typhidot IgM/IgG is more specific. Take the test to confirm typhoid diagnosis.

I have been feeling tired and having headaches all day, along with fever. My blood report shows S. Typhi (O) titer as 1:160.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My Widal report shows S. Paratyphi A from 1/20 to 1/160 are all positive, S. Typhi H and O are positive at 1/20, and S. Paratyphi B is negative. All other sections are negative. Do I have typhoid disease? What should I do regarding this? Is it in a lethal or dangerous condition or is there no need to be anxious?
