Possibility of typhoid bacterial infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. There is possibility of typhoid bacterial infection for your wife. Typhi dot only tells us about whether positive or negative. You can go for a widal test to find out the titre of specific antibodies.
In case that is positive antibiotic should be taken. Flouroquinolones like ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin is the drug of choice for this. In case positive you don't go for antibiotic therapy typhoid fever can recur again. You can approach a general medicine or infectious disease physician to run this test and for antibiotic therapy.
Fast foods from outside is not safe to consume all time.They can be source of food poisoning and typhoid. If possible cook your food yourself which will be better. Also boiling the water will be better. The bottled water you get outside won't be safe everytime.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
