Hi, my husband Widal test report shows Typhi O 1:20 and the rest are negative. Does this mean he has typhoid or not?

A titer of 1:20 is not diagnostic of typhoid and may be due to past exposure or vaccination. Typhoid diagnosis requires higher titers or rising values in serial testing. No treatment unless clinical symptoms and higher titers are present. Repeat test in 3 to 5 days if symptoms persist.

My mother blood report shows S. Typhi antigen O 1:160 and S. Typhi antigen H 1:160. The doctor has prescribed Opox CV 200 for 15 days. She has become very weak. Should we admit her to the hospital or wait for the Opox CV to work? Should the medicine be changed?
