Question 1

I have attached my mother blood test report. She is having intermittent fever of 100 degrees F to 104 degrees F with no other symptoms. I want to know whether my mother has typhoid, malaria, or jaundice. Currently she is receiving the following injections as per a pharmacist advice since no doctor is consulting patients due to the COVID situation: Meromac SB 1 gm, Falcigo 60 mg, Pantop injection, Levazeo injection. What level of typhoid does my mother have mild or severe? Please help me with your inputs, experts. It will be a great help. Thank you.

Question 2

My son, who is 5 years and 4 months old, has his Widal test results as follows, Salmonella typhi O 1:160 positive, Salmonella typhi H 1:80 positive, Salmonella typhi AH 1:80 positive, and Salmonella typhi BH 1:40 negative. Does this mean he has typhoid? What treatment should be followed?

Question 3

I have attached my Widal test report. The test was done on the sixth day of the fever, which was around 103 degrees F. Please tell me whether it is typhoid or not, as I have received two different opinions from two doctors. I am very confused.

A titre of 1:160 may suggest early typhoid, especially if symptoms match. If you are improving with Cefixime (Cefigard), continue as advised. Monitor temperature and hydration.
