Typhoid fever

2018-09-26 02:08:18
My son was suffering from fever since last 3 days then doctor changed his medicine after that no fever but his blood test reports shows Salmonella typhi O antigen: 1:160 Salmonella typhi H antigen: 1:80 Salmonella paratyphi AH antigen:less than 1:40 Salmonella paratyphi BH antigen:less than 1:40. Is this something very severe ? Doctor gave us 6 days medicine including the one to increase blood in body and said he will be fine after 15 days. Kindly advise the best.
