Antibiotics like cefixime or azithromycin are used, but treatment must be prescribed by a doctor after evaluating symptoms and Widal titers.

Sir, I am a 28 year old male. Fifteen days ago, I had a fever, and the doctor ordered a blood test. Typhoid was positive, and my direct bilirubin level was elevated, while total bilirubin was normal. For the past three days, I have had slight stomach upset and nausea. Please help me. What should I do? I have attached my bilirubin test report.
