I just found out my Widal test came back positive yesterday. I'm really concerned and was wondering if there are any specific diet precautions I should be taking for typhoid. What should I avoid eating or include in my meals to help with recovery?

View allI'm looking over my blood CBC report and noticed that my RDW-CV is 15.2 and my MPV is 11.3. I'm not sure what these numbers mean. Plus, I've been running a fever for the last three days. Could these results be related to my fever? Should I be concerned about these levels?
Your CBC report shows a slightly elevated RDW-CV (15.2%) indicating a moderate variation in red blood cell size, which can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency, or chronic inflammation; meanwhile, your MPV (11.3) is within the normal range; given your fever for the past three days, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out underlying infections or conditions, such as a viral or bacterial infection, that may be causing your symptoms.

Novaclav 625, a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, is typically prescribed for 5-7 days for respiratory infections, so taking it for only 3 days may not be sufficient to fully clear the infection,
