Hello,
It is clear from the test report that your wife is suffering from typhoid.
I am surprised that in spite of taking ceftriaxone for 12 days, the Widal test is still positive.
It would have been better had you mentioned about her fever.
I would have prescribed ofloxacin and cefixime. Tylenol should be given if the fever continues. Give her bland diet to eat and keep her hydrated.
Please ask your doctor for a prescription of the same.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
