Hi, sir my daughter aged 18 yrs, was not feeling well for more than 1 week. she got fever but the temp didnt came more than 98. she got cough & also feeling tired & body pain 2 days before we done the blood test for typhoid the result came for widal test S. Typhi O - positive 1:320 dilution, S.Typhi H - Positive -1160 Dilution, S. Paratyphi AH - Negative, S. Paratyphi BH - Negative.The same day we done one more test Typhoid IgM Antibody - Card Test & the result is Negative.Sir, now we are confused, whether we want to start medicine for typhoid, pls give me your valuable advise.
Welcome, consult your family doctor for physical examination, card method test is more reliable, tidal test may be false positive in viral fever, do not start medicine, just take paracetamol for pain & fever, for cough take anti-allergic cough syrup, hot saline gargles, fresh fruits, juices, take care. Steam inhalation, cough pills lozenges,
