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.

Widal test shows possible typhoid if titres are greater than or equal to 1:160, but your titres are borderline. Widal alone is not reliable, get Typhidot IgM or blood culture for confirmation. Persistent headache and fever should be further evaluated by a doctor.

This is my Widal test report: Salmonella typhi O 1:320 dilutions, Salmonella typhi H 1:160 dilutions, Salmonella typhi AH negative, and Salmonella typhi BH negative. Is this a typhoid attack or not? I am a breastfeeding mother, and my baby is three months old. Will my baby get infected? Please give a clear explanation and suggest what kind of diet I should follow.

My blood report says positive Salmonella typhi. Can you please guide me with the best medication for typhoid cure?

My wife was diagnosed with typhoid fever 3 days ago, but she has been ill for the past week. The doctor prescribed Taximo 400 twice daily and Calpol 650 for fever. However, her fever has remained steady between 101 to 104F for the last 3 days. I am attaching the test report. Could you please advise if we need to worry or consider changing the medication? The doctor mentioned that this might be a rare type of typhoid.
