Q. Which medications should be taken to treat typhoid?
Hello doctor,
I have had a fever for the last four days and have done a WIDAL test. The result showed TO antigen positive up to 1:160 and TH positive up to 1:80. My post-graduation exam is coming, and I do not want to get admitted in the hospital as the doctor diagnosed it as typhoid. So, kindly suggest some treatment.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I understand your concern.
Yes, you have typhoid, and it is not necessary to get admitted for it unless you have diarrhea, vomiting, and weakness. Please consult a doctor in person to start the treatment. Meanwhile, I would suggest the following:
- Drink a lot of fluid.
- Avoid spicy and oily food.
- Take rest.
Thank you.
