Abdominal pain
My mother is 58 years old. She was suffering from stomach pain... I went to physician (stomach specialist). He advised me for ultrasound and widal test known as typhoid test.
Ultrasound report seems to be normal, while there is some issue in widal test, dr said it is typhoid positive.
Dr suggested me three medicines
1) Normaxin tab -three times a day
2) Vizylac tab - three times a day
3) Tab taxim o 400- two times a day for 12 days
(1) after seeing the widal test it is confirmed that my mother is typhoid positive?
( she don't have fever, only abdominal pain is there?
2) if typhoid is there then abdominal pain is also symptoms of typhoid?
Pls help.

Many patients are coming with positive typhoid report nowadays.
We can be sure of typhoid if repeat widal test suggest further elevation in titres.
I see that u have already been suggested antibiotics and if u have started then continue same.
Only pain abdomen is not good enough to be considered as symptom of typhoid. In absence of fever it is always doubtful.
