My daughter, a 7 year 5 month old girl, has been suffering from high fever for the past week. Yesterday, we did blood tests. Widal Test Report: S. Typhi O: 1:320 (Positive) S. Typhi H: 1:320 (Positive) S. Para Typhi AH: 1:320 (Negative) S. Para Typhi BH: 1:320 (Negative) Other Tests: Malaria Antigen (Rapid, whole blood): Negative Dengue IgG: Negative Dengue IgM: Negative Dengue NS1 Antigen: Negative Is this typhoid infection severe, moderate, or mild? What treatment should we follow? Does she need hospitalization? Are there any common medicines to take and any recommended changes in food and water habits?

This indicates moderate to high typhoid. Oral antibiotics like cefixime or azithromycin may be started. Pediatrician must assess severity.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

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?
