Brief Answer:
It depends on his condition.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

Seeing your brother reports indicates Typhoid Infection. It can be treated easily but if neglected or improperly treated it can be serious.

Now coming to whether he needs to be treated with Injection or Tablets , it depends on his condition. If he is very sick or fever is very high or he is not tolerating tablets because of vomiting or gastritis in that case it is advisable to treat him with injections.

Hope this information was useful to you.

Any clarification feel free to ask .
