Question 1

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.

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 Widal test results are:
S. Typhi O: 1:160
S. Typhi H: 1:80
S. Typhi AH: below 1:20
S. Typhi BH: below 1:20
The blood test was done one week after the onset of fever. What do these results indicate, and do I need treatment?

S. Typhi O 1:40 dilution, S. Typhi H 1:20 dilution, S. Para typhi A H less than 1:20 dilution, and S. Para typhi B H less than 1:20 dilution are the results of the lab test. Is this typhoid severe and how many days will it take to cure?

These Widal titers are low and do not confirm typhoid. Clinical signs, travel history, and blood culture are essential. You must take a Blood Culture and Typhidot Test to confirm or rule out active typhoid infection.
