Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The widal test report of TO titer of 1:160 is evident of typhoid but the rising titers of TO antigen will be a confirmatory of typhoid fever. As you have consulted your doctor after which your brother as developed vomiting.

Typhoid is disease transmitted by drinking and eating contaminated water and food. The disease will affects the gut and the liver and produces the symptoms like diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, vomiting and loss of appetite.

I would suggest your brother to folow
1.Oral Antibiotics like Tab Ciproflox, twice daily for 5 days.
2.Oral rehydration salt solution
3.Good water and food hygiene
4.Tab Emset for vomiting.

These medications can be taken only after consulting your doctor.
Thank you.
