Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM
Based on the report you have posted regarding WIDAL test, the titres are definitely indicative of 'typhoid fever'. She needs to be started on treatment with antipyretics and a course of antibiotics at the earliest. She also needs to be on bland diet during the course and for 3 weeks after the antibiotic course is completed.
Kindly consult Paediatrician for appropriate course of medication and advise.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
