I was diagnosed with typhoid and admitted to a hospital for two days, but I did not experience any typical symptoms of typhoid apart from a mild fever that lasted for one week. My Widal test report showed Typhoid H and S at 1:80. Could this mean I was truly suffering from typhoid?

A Widal titre of 1:80 is not confirmatory for typhoid. It may indicate past exposure. If symptoms were mild and improved, it may have been viral.

My Widal test report shows: O is 1:80 H is 1:80 AH is 1:40 BH is Negative I have had a mild fever for one week along with weakness. Do these results indicate that I have typhoid?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing chills and a low grade fever for more than 20 days. I have taken paracetamol and cetirizine for chills and mild cold symptoms. The chills and shivering come and go but never completely go away. I had a CBC and malaria test done, and both were negative. Today, when I checked my temperature during an episode of chills, it was normal (98F). Currently, I am experiencing chills along with a headache. What should I do?
