Question 1

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.

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

I have had a fever for the last 3 days, and today my report confirmed typhoid. I also feel heaviness in my chest but have no other symptoms. I am eating properly, sleeping well, taking steam, and doing gargles. Please guide me on how to recover quickly.

My Widal test report says O positive and H negative. Can you say whether my result is serious or not? My age is 17 and I am male.

O agglutinin reactive and H negative is non specific. This does not confirm typhoid, a typhoid diagnosis should be based on symptoms and blood culture.
