Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.

Typhi O and H antigens 1:80 is quiet common even in healthy individuals.
If it is more than 1:100, Then there is an active infection.
You don't need antibiotic any more.
Drink plenty of fluids at least 4-5 liters per day.
Take lot of fruits like papaya and kiwi for detoxification.
Avoid coffee,tea,fatty diet,non veg.
Take Tab pan 40mg twice daily 1/2hr before food for 1 week.
Body ache will be there for another 1 or 2 weeks post typhoid infection.

Get back to me if any query.
