Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  What are your symptoms? Usually for typhoid on examination the biggest sign is something called relative bradycardia. After that a widal is performed. Widal should be performed only after 5 days of fever so that its conclusive. Based on your present values, you dont have typhoid. But that might not be necessary.  Kindly consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.  Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
