Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.
Since, widal test value is more than 1/320 it is pretty sure that your child has got typhoid fever.
Typhoid is a major disease and needs immediate treatment other wise complications can occur.
In my opinion, you should give antibiotic like cefixime for a period of 7 days. Paracetamolshould be given for fever.
However , all doses of drugs in children is calculated according to weight. Therefore, I advice you to meet the local doctor for needful.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
Regards,
Dr Deepak Patel
