Hi. Widal is NOT a good test for typhoid. Also the value is low. This test does not indicate that child is having typhoid. What symptoms does she have now? How long fever is there? What about other tests? If she has no symptoms then no need to give any medicine for just based on widal value.
Pls read the articles on fever I wrote for further information about fever.
