many thanks.
widals test is quite old test and not done in modern hospital.
we are using blood culture test or IGg or IG m. if positive for typhoid or salmonella then needs intravenous treatment of antibiotic for 7 to 10 days according to culture sensitivity.
then needs eradication of it with cap.amoxicillin 500mg for 3 weeks.
Food advice is soft and non spicy better more liquids should given during illness.
take more liquids and fruits.
