Question 1

My Widal test report shows:
S. Typhi O: 1:80 (Positive)
S. Typhi H: 1:160 (Positive)
S. Para Typhi AH: 1:160 (Positive)
S. Para Typhi BH: 1:80 (Positive)
Malaria parasite: Not seen
Does this indicate a high, medium, or low likelihood of typhoid? What common medicines are usually prescribed, and are there any food or water precautions I should follow?

Question 2

Last month I got sick with a mild sore throat followed by high fever. I started taking antibiotics for the sore throat, but the fever and body pain continued. After a week, my doctor did a Widal test, which was positive, and prescribed Cyproxin for 2 weeks, suspecting typhoid. I felt better during treatment, but only for one week after stopping the antibiotics, and now I am sick again with low body temperature (36.2C) and fatigue. Other tests including CBC, thyroid, kidney, malaria, and liver function are normal. What could be causing my recurring illness, and what should I do?

Question 3

My 2 year 10 month old child has been having fever for the last 4 days. We did CBC and urine tests, which were normal, and dengue and malaria tests, which were negative. The fever subsided on the 5th day but returned on the 6th day, with the child head and body feeling very hot and temperatures above 101F. After taking Paracetamol 250 mg, the temperature temporarily reduced, but it rises again after about 6 hours.

Paratyphi A titer at 1:160 is suggestive of recent or active infection. Please confirm with Blood Culture and Typhidot IgM/IgG. Take the test today.
