Hi
Thanks for writing to HCM.
These test results indicate that you have typhoid. However local titre has to be compared before concluding. All you have to do is to visit a local physician and he would give you the treatment. Treatment for typhoid includes antibiotics (flouroquinolone group), antipyretic for temperature (paracetamol), adequate hydration and nutrition.
Get well soon.
