Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have gone through the case details of your nephew. The diagnosis is most probably typhoid fever, based on his Widal test report. Cefixime is a good antibiotic for the same. We expect more improvement in the next 3-5 days.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
