Question 1

My daughter, a 7 year 5 month old girl, has been suffering from high fever for the past week. Yesterday, we did blood tests. Widal Test Report:
S. Typhi O: 1:320 (Positive)
S. Typhi H: 1:320 (Positive)
S. Para Typhi AH: 1:320 (Negative)
S. Para Typhi BH: 1:320 (Negative)
Other Tests:
Malaria Antigen (Rapid, whole blood): Negative
Dengue IgG: Negative
Dengue IgM: Negative
Dengue NS1 Antigen: Negative
Is this typhoid infection severe, moderate, or mild? What treatment should we follow? Does she need hospitalization? Are there any common medicines to take and any recommended changes in food and water habits?

Question 2

My brother was diagnosed with typhoid two days ago, but we only got to know today after his blood report confirmed it. We have been in close contact with him. What are the chances that we might also get typhoid? If there is a risk, is there any precautionary medicine we can take to avoid falling ill?

Question 3

Doctor, my Widal blood test report shows TO 1:160, TH 1:80, while AH and BH are negative. I want to confirm whether I have typhoid fever or not.

I have a fever, and my blood test report shows: S. Typhi O: 1:160 S. Typhi H: 1:320 What does this indicate, and what treatment or suggestions do you recommend?

These titers suggest possible typhoid. If fever persists or worsens, a blood culture is advised to confirm diagnosis and guide antibiotics.
