I have been experiencing fever around 104F for the past 3 to 4 days, which sometimes comes and goes, along with a bad sore throat, dizziness, flu symptoms, and fatigue. I had a Widal test for typhoid, and the result came back positive. The report also notes that titres in excess of 1:80 are probably significant.

Widal positive (more than 1:80) with symptoms suggests typhoid. Start antibiotics only under doctor supervision. Also, rule out dengue or COVID if fever persists.
