Does High Fever With Chilling Relate To Typhoid?
Hello, My son is having High degree fever with chilling (103 degree) every 4 hrs. Doctor has given him monocef-o 100. He said that since it is beginning so Vidal test would be negative, but lets start the medicin clinically. Today he vomited after taking medicine.. He is 5.5 yrs old and he is in fever since wednesday night. Is the medicin ok or you can suggest us any test that can confirm that he is suffering from typhoid.

HI
Well come to HCM
Chilling and fever are the main manifestation of any infective disease, if typhoid being suspected then the given medicine is okay, in early phase of disease the Widal titer does not show any precipitation, but rapid slide test gives the clue for this, more over routine blood test would be much helpful and this need to be done, hope this information helps.
