Salmonella typhi O & H titres of 1:80 are borderline and may indicate past exposure or early typhoid. If there are no symptoms, treatment may not be needed. But if fever, weakness or gut symptoms are present, consult your doctor.

Take a Typhoid Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I have had a fever for the last 3 days, and today my report confirmed typhoid. I also feel heaviness in my chest but have no other symptoms. I am eating properly, sleeping well, taking steam, and doing gargles. Please guide me on how to recover quickly.

I am experiencing continuous vomiting as soon as I eat, along with fever and extreme weakness. My Widal test report shows: Salmonella Paratyphi O: 1:80 Salmonella Paratyphi H: 1:80 Salmonella Paratyphi AH: 1:20 Salmonella Paratyphi BH: 1:20 Could you please help me understand what this means and what I should do next?

S. Typhi O 1:40 dilution, S. Typhi H 1:20 dilution, S. Para typhi A H less than 1:20 dilution, and S. Para typhi B H less than 1:20 dilution are the results of the lab test. Is this typhoid severe and how many days will it take to cure?
