I'm dealing with worms and it's been bothering me for a bit now. I'm also breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe to take medication for the worms while I'm feeding? I'm just really worried about any possible effects on my baby.

View allI'm really confused about my situationI've been feeling weak for the past two weeks. When I went to the doctor, they said it's likely a viral infection. But I'm also dealing with congestion in my head and ears, like there's something similar to a cough. After five days of taking meds, nothing's changed. The doc suggested a blood and urine test; everything came out normal except my S Typhi O levels, which are 1160 positive. Does this mean I have typhoid? I'm not running a fever, though, my temperature is just around 97. Could this still be typhoid even without a fever?
Based on your symptoms and the positive result for S Typhi O, it is possible that you have a mild form of typhoid fever. Even though you do not have a high fever, a positive S Typhi O test result at 1:160 indicates exposure to the bacteria that cause typhoid. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is completely cleared. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.
