Have Fever And Shoulder Pain. Widal Test Done. Diagnosed With Typhoid. Taking Dolo-650. What To Do?
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I request you to update the following to answer you better.
What is her present temperature? Is the temperature showing a downward trend?
Does she have any other complaints? (Like burning urination, cough etc)
How is her shoulder pain now? Which side it aches? The right shoulder, left, or both?
Was a blood culture done? If so what is the report?
Since clinically she is showing some improvement in her general well being I suggest you to not to worry regarding the same. Sometimes the fever may take some more time to come down. If fever continues to persist change of antibiotic or further investigations may be required.
Hope I answered your question. I request you to use your follow-up queries if further clarification is required.
Hope this helps.
Take care
she has no complaints regarding cough, urine burning.
she doesn't have specifically any pain in the shoulders but has general body pain.
Blood culture has been done has and the report is likely to come on 4th or 5th of March
Thanks for your reply.
I think that your wife is showing signs of improvement (feeding is improving..... temperature of 99 degree is not of much concern)
I suggest you to continue the antibiotic and monitor her.
Give her good soft diet and your warm love and affection. She will improve faster.
