I recently had tests done due to fever. The Widal test showed typhoid positive, but the Typhidot test was negative. My CBC report shows: low RBC, low lymphocytes, low platelet count, low PCV, high MCV, and high MCH. Along with this, I am experiencing consistent pain between my chest and stomach, joint pain, tiredness, and back pain including along the spine. At night, my back pain increases, and when I wake up I feel a lot of pain in my arms, shoulders, back, and legs. The pain reduces when I am active at work, but worsens again when I take rest. Given these test results and symptoms, what could be the possible diagnosis?

CBC shows signs of anemia. Low RBC, lymphocytes, platelets are concerning. High MCV/MCH suggests vitamin issues. Chest/back pain needs evaluation. Early testing prevents complications.

My mother blood report shows S. Typhi antigen O 1:160 and S. Typhi antigen H 1:160. The doctor has prescribed Opox CV 200 for 15 days. She has become very weak. Should we admit her to the hospital or wait for the Opox CV to work? Should the medicine be changed?
