Fever from 5 days, widal test done.
Been having fever and a little weakness for past 5 days. Was prescribed medicines for the same. Did a blood checkup today. Urine and hematology reports reveal normal results. But results of WIDAL SLIDE mentions S. TYPHI 'O' as positive(1:80). Do I have typhoid? I'm travelling out of the country in 3 days and need inputs asap.

You need to consult a physician with all your test reports to confirm the diagnosis. Widal test needs to be correlated with other clinical symptoms to confirm the diagnosis of typhoid
Next Steps
Consult nearby physician for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
