Hi there, your serology report reveals that you have been infected by the thyphoid bacteria. The symptoms you have described are due to the same. The treatment prescribed is quite adequate and you should take it in the prescribed dose and for the recomended time. Usually these bacteria injure your intestinal lining and it takes a great toll on your physical condition, also it takes a long time to heal. It is strongly advisabe to take adequate rest, proper and appropriate diet. If you are feeling weak that itself is an indication that you should not travel. You should give time to your body to recover. Take care and follow your doctors suggestions.
