Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

You have positive widal test.You are suffering from typhoid fever.
Single value of salmonella O or H antigen titer values equal or greater than 1: 160 is considered as positive.
However four fold increase in titration is confirmatory.
You can take tablet cefixime 200 mg twice daily for seven days.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
