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.
Thanks

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?
Thanks but you didn't understand the condition I was told that the test will last for 2 days some one I know told me to go do the test at private lab and come back quick

What you have is flu, not typhoid. Take antibiotics for the cough, eg Azithromycin, etc. Take loratidine tabs. Pharmacist will advise you on dosage. Take a lot of water/fluid and fruits.
You will be well.

That test is obsolete and very useless....to checkmate salmonella typhi,
- Food hygiene
- Environmental sanitation
- proper sewage management etc....

Thank you very much... Majority of the general population don't know that typhoid is a disease of the poor and dirty people, for one to have typhoid, they must be from the low-socioeconomic class. I get angry when I see rich people insisting they want to do widal!!!

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.
Yes I'm AA genotype and O+

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
Thanks and God bless

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.
I swear this period is not good for sickness

For how long now have you been having this cough?
Any associated chest pain, breathlessness, weight loss, drenching night sweat?

Kindly provide answers to the above questions

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

Yesterday I want to general hospital to see a doctor, he recommended that I should run for test, because it was general hospital so I decided to go and do the test in private laboratory, the test lasted for an hour but going back to see the doctor, the hospital have closed, today being Tuesday I want to see the doctor but the nurses said he doesn't come on Tuesday and I'm seriously sick, doctors in the house please help me. Here is the test result

Only one doctor runs clinic in the hospital?

Meanwhile,the test you did doesn't mean anything.
Widal test is useless.
But Nigerians like typhoid.
If you don't send them to check for malaria and typhoid,they wont agree you have done anything for them
