Detailed Answer:
Hi there
Thanks for your query at HCM
Your titres "H" and "I" are quite high and suggest you are probably having typhoid.
But to confirm you must get blood culture also done.
You can start antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin or azithromycin, NSAID and serratiopeptidase for 10 to 14 days. Please make sure that you take these with a prescription from your doc.
Also get malaria smear and ICT test done.
Test for Hb, TLC, platelets and GBP done.
I hope I answered your query.
Happy to take follow-up questions.
Take care.
