In my 2 yr 4 m baby blood widal report - Salm.Typhi."H" Positive 1 in 80 dilution & Salm.Typhi."O" Positive 1 in 80 dilution..... what does it mean?

How severe is my typhoid from the reports mentioned above? 3. I am having pain in my head temple which is unbearable. Is it normal in typhoid? 4. Fever is repeating and when fever happens i feel chills in body even if AC works at 27 degree. 5.

No, technically it can't be transmitted, its only route is via fecal oral route. I advise you to take tab Ciprofloxacin 500mg BD, (in the morning and night) for a week and keep yourself hydrated with plenty of fluids, If there is abdominal pain then you should take tab buscopan BD,twice daily. for 3 days. ...
