Hello
As you mnetioned that Widal is positive and you are having typhoid fever .
The drug of choice for typhoid fever is as folow.
Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice in day for 14 days is drug of choice .
Antibiotic is not recommended in most cases as it does not shorten the duration of symptoms and is associated with increased rate of relapse , a prolonges carrier state , and adverse reactions .
So I recommend you please take complete treatment as your doctor advise .
Few doctor also advise Injection ceftrazone 1 gm twice in day for 10 days .
So consult your physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
