Hello sir, in my blood test report, Typhi O 1/160 is positive, but I do not have fever. I feel light chest pain and pain below the chest in the middle part, as well as back pain. Sometimes I experience uneasy breathing. I am unable to understand what the exact problem is. Are these typhoid symptoms? I have not had fever even for a single day. Some time ago, I was suffering from loose motions, but now it is normal.
