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

Take a Widal Test Test or Take a CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY - AEROBIC (BLOOD) Test

My brother was diagnosed with typhoid two days ago, but we only got to know today after his blood report confirmed it. We have been in close contact with him. What are the chances that we might also get typhoid? If there is a risk, is there any precautionary medicine we can take to avoid falling ill?

My daughter has had typhoid twice. Her first Widal test showed O: 160, H: 80, and the second test showed O: 160, H: 160. The most recent test shows O: 80. Could you please advise if there are any complications for my child and suggest what steps or precautions we should take next?
