Widal isn't the ideal investigation to diagnose typhoid. Try investigating yourself with blood culture for salmonella or typhidot IgM test to confirm your diagnosis. Widal will be positive in most of our population. Only if the titres are rising more than 4 times, it is significant.

Next Steps

confirm typhoid with blood culture or typhidot IgM.
