Hi,

After Going through your daughter's widal test report. Her titre for BH is boderline and it does not suggest active infection by typhoid bacilli. However you consider a 5 days presumptive treatment with ciprofloxacin and cefexime. Dose should be adjusted according to her weight by a pediatrician.


Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
