Hello,
Widal test remains false positive even after the treatment till 1 to 2 month, widal test is not a much important test for the diagnosis, if you want to get confirmation you can go for blood culture for typhoid,
You can prefer homoeopathy, there are medicines which makes your body to form antibodies against typhoid, because if typhoid persists for long time and you suffers from typhoid again and again then it can be very harmful..
