anti bodies are produced by body in response to infection.these antibodies can be detected in body for upto 2 months; so following these titers for treatment is unwise ;please continue amoxicillin till you have no fever for 72 hrs without fever medicines and please get typhidot ig m done thats a better test.as your values of test are not very significant.
