Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You have positive widal test.
Salmonella O or H antigen titer values equal or greater than 1: 160 is considered as positive.
However four fold increase in titration is confirmatory.
You can take tablet cefixime 200 mg twice daily for seven days.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
