Fridge, fans, ac, etc harbours dustmites.

You are probably allergic to that.
So keep your fridge, ac, fan, surroundings, bedding clean always.

I spent hundreds of thousands of naira treating my child of persistent cough and what have you not knowing its allergy. Loads of histamine and asmathic medication. In fact, I angrily left Nigeria cos no hospital( went to the best so called children's hospital in my city. (Zankli) did the right thing. Zankli did allergy test but insisted its asthma and was pumping this boy asmathic meds and inhalers. I did my research.
When I left Nigeria and went to hospital once, all I have been saying were confirmed. Just allergic reaction to dustmites.
I almost lost another child on their incompetency.

Till date, all good. Can't remember when last any if my kids went to the hospital.

See them debating about blood culture and widal test up there.

DrFunmisticGlow:
why?

Why are you using a bomb to kill a rat?

DrDunamis:
What are the symptoms you're experiencing?

DrDunamis:
It's stated there that no malaria parasite seen bit the question is why did you leave the hospital to run test in a private facility?

DrFunmisticGlow:
That's is the common cold you have.

There's been a nasty cold going round these days. It's not malaria and typhoid.

jaephoenix:
I requested some investigations earlier. Add gene xpert and or serum AFB. Also ESR and FBC would be neat

jaephoenix:
You didn't state your symptoms, so we can't help you, unfortunately. However, this result doesn't tell any story to a physician. Widal test of 1/80 titer won't bother you, besides that test (Widal) is quite redundant these days because of cross reactions of the reagent with other antigens. If a doctor suspects you of having typhoid, he either commences therapeutic trial or send you for stool or urine salmonella culture. The only labs that still run that test is the roadside labs cos they know the average Nigerian would always patronize them for it, meanwhile the test is as useful as money is to a dead man.

ejimatic:
The significance of 180 is that yiu have typhoid . However ulcer usually presents itself like typhoid. ..You may become lean and be vomiting too. My advice is treat both ulcer and typoid together.Yiu will be well

AnietiePictures:
Investigation Required : MP and Widal

Laboratory Result: MP . No MP Seen
Comment: based on microscopy results, there were no stage of malaria parasite of any strain from your blood sample, meaning your ailment may not be due to malaria.

Laboratory Result: Widal. Mild

Further questions: are you currently on any drugs?

What of the CBC result?

You will be fine Repeat the widal after 2weeks to check progress.

Stress alone can upset your health system with fever and maybe go away with rest and good food, fruits and rest and good exercise., ensure you have a clean and portable water for cooking and drinking and even proper hand washing.

I can't go further since I dont know much of your other medical details, get well soon. This period is not good to be sick.

drimzsmoke:
The dude is lying ni jare, private hospital doctors write widal test for patients to generate money for the hospital. Why on earth will any doctor working in a govt hospital request for a widal test!!!

godwon01:
Drink a lot of warmth water . This is just a minor salmonella typhi bacteria in your blood stream. Take plenty of white vitamin c . You can chewing up to 4 tablets 3 times a day. Get Amocilling cap original. Two 500mg start follow by 1 four times a day . Of course you need to treat for malaria . Take maxiquin tablet 3 start follow by 2 tablet twice a day. Take bcomplec tablet 2 twice a day. Don't forget plenty of fruits. You will definitely get better IJN

OBIDIENTNAIJA:
The results shoe you have typhoid. So you have to go for the treatment. If that 1:80 titre is what is making you seriously I'll, then you're likely belong to AA genotype and O+ blood group. Otherwise I will suggest you do further test like Full Blood Count.

drimzsmoke:
Lolz
I'm 1 billion percent sure that you're LYING, I can even bet my life on it!!!

thesicilian:
He most likely concocted the story of going to the general hospital blah blah blah because he knew people would tell him to go to the hospital. I'm sure he just went to a lab to request tests by himself. Labs generally will do anything you ask them to, but a good doctor will not bother with Widal test.

Besides which sane person will see a doctor in a general hospital where things are cheap, then walk out all the way to another private hospital to go for test and bring the results back to the general hospital?

NurseJP:
You did malaria test and Widal for typhoid. Malaria is negative as no malaria parasite was seen. The titre value for the typhoid is less than 1: 180 and hence assumed to be normal. ( deranged if greater than)

Regarding treatment: you need a doctor as the symptoms you’re presenting ,history taking and examination will guide the doctor on line of treatment. Please you can ask for another doctor to review your results and start your treatment. Wishing you quick recovery.

Blitzking:
