Sore Throat, Cold, Body Ache, Fever And Headache. IgG And IgE Are High. Typhoid?
hi. i had been feeling fatigued,lethargic for the last week.this was followed by sore throat and mild cough with body ache usually in the legs.i also had headache and fever upto 100`F..it has been 4-5 days now my throat is better and also the headache but the fever is still persistant now it 99.2. i tested for igG and IgE whose levels were high indicating typhoid ..my doctor said this doesnt proves typhoid since igg n ige can become high in case of any infection like sore throat. i had typhois last year too in the same month and before that i had it once 2 years back.. what is this? do i have typhoid again? my fever is usually mild most of the time i dont even feel like i have fever.. my pulsi is high about 78 beats per min..
hello dear thanks for your query at HCM yes typhoid can come positive if there is any other infection in body , false positive are common with typhoid testing. if typhoid it will present with high grade fever with chill, abdominal pain, headache , nausea , vomiting and weakness. you does not seem to have any above mentioned symptoms. your symptoms looks like viral infection where there is low grade fever, headache, sorethroat and weakness. regards
