My brother has typhoid, but the doctor prescribed me Tab Cifran 250, Tab Dolo 650, and Tab Becosules. I feel these tablets may not be proper. Can I take these tablets? My blood report shows Salmonella typhi O: 1:160, Salmonella typhi H: 1:160, Salmonella paratyphi AH: 1:20, and Salmonella paratyphi BH: 1:20. What precautions should be taken?

These are often given as prophylaxis or if mild infection suspected. If you are asymptomatic, treatment may not be necessary unless advised based on your Widal or symptoms.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I tested COVID 19 positive and completed all prescribed medications while staying in home quarantine. For the last 7 to 8 days, I have been experiencing severe fatigue and a mild fever (99 to 100F). Yesterday, I tested positive for Typhoid. I am unsure if this is a lingering effect of COVID 19 or a true Typhoid infection. My Typhoid test results are: AH: 1:80 BH: 1:80 TH: 1:160 TO: 1:320 Should I start antibiotics for Typhoid? Do I need any further tests to confirm the infection?

My test report shows Salmonella typhi O is 1:160 and Salmonella typhi H is 1:80. Do I have typhoid fever? I have a fever every evening. After treatment, my ESR report is 18. I am 24 years old. I need a helpful answer.
