The typhoid test came back positive, but there is no fever now. Is it possible that the blood test report is incorrect? Also, can typhoid fever resolve on its own without antibiotics? What other tests can be done to confirm typhoid, and how long does it typically take for typhoid to completely go away? Additionally, I gave the typhoid vaccine to my child, so how is it possible that she is still suffering from typhoid?

Yes, typhoid can sometimes resolve on its own, especially if mild. Blood test may give false positives due to past exposure. Confirm via blood culture. Vaccinated children can still get mild infection. Please consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I have a Widal test report. TO is 1:160 positive, TH is negative, AH is negative, and BH is negative. I took Ciprobid 500 mg tablet twice a day for 10 days. The doctor asked me to stop the tablets for seven days and get the report again, saying it may become negative. Is this possible? I need to submit a negative report for my foreign employment as a hotelier. My physician said it is impossible and that TO can remain the same without any rise for a long time.

Hi. In my Widal test report, S. typhi O is 1:320 and S. typhi H is 1:80. I started having fever on 6th November. After one week, I vomited three times a day and had loose motions, so I took two drips a day and medicines to stop the loose motions and vomiting. My blood pressure also went down to 80 by 60. Since 13th November until now, I have had loose motions and slight fever. I also experience stomach pain and bloating. I feel tired almost all day long. Is it typhoid or something else?
