Brief Answer:
Possible typhoid infection?

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir.

This report is suggestive of possible typhoid infection.

It's advisable to start antibiotics to control the infection.

I generally prescribe oral pills of CIPROFLOXACIN 500 mg twice a day for 7 days

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these pills to you.

Post your further questions if any.

Thank you.
