Hi,
Thanks for writing in to hcm.
I understand your problem and will try my best to help you out.
A single Widal test donot exactly provide the right information as it interprets the antibody titre to the specific antigen which may not be very high at the firat week of infection. hence 3 -4 widal tests at regular intervals is more helpful.
Hence doctors usually recommend :
1. Tablet of ciprofoxacin and tinidazole combination taken twice daily (morning and evening) for ten days.
2. Proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole 40 mg atleast half an hour before breakfast daily once for ten days.
These are prescription medications so please consult a physician.
Take lots of fluids and a bland diet.
Yes it is safe to have sex with your wife however, i would suggest let the treatment be over.
Hope this answered your query.
Get well soon.
