Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Typhoid if detected by Widal test is not significant as it can be positive in subclinical infections.
Dengue if uncomplicated gets better in 5-7 days.
i would like to know following:
1. What symptoms does he has?
2. What is his platelet count?
3. Attach his investigations.
4. Any bleeding ?
This is my best advice for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
