Hello dear
I understand your concern
Typhoid value 1:80 is importance and should be repeat after 7 days to confirm the typhoid fever.
But decrease in platelet count could be due to viral infection like dengue, chickengunya.
I would suggest to consult the primary physician go for blood testing for above cause.
Take tablet cefuroxime
Drink plenty of water, eat healthy diet.
Take proper bed rest
Sponging for the fever.
Hope this may help you
Contact HCM for further heath query
