Can you explain what the Widal test means? If needed, I can share my blood test report. Also, what precautions should I take in the meantime?

Widal test detects antibodies to typhoid bacteria. Positive result suggests possible typhoid. Maintain hygiene, drink safe water, and follow up with your doctor.

My daughter is 5 years old. Her Widal test report shows S. Typhi O 1:60 (Positive), S. Typhi H 1:80 (Positive), S. Para Typhi AH 1:20 (Negative), and S. Para Typhi BH 1:20 (Negative). Is this typhoid high, medium, or low? Are there any common medicines she should take? Should we change her food and water habits?
