I was diagnosed with typhoid and admitted to a hospital for two days, but I did not experience any typical symptoms of typhoid apart from a mild fever that lasted for one week. My Widal test report showed Typhoid H and S at 1:80. Could this mean I was truly suffering from typhoid?

A Widal titre of 1:80 is not confirmatory for typhoid. It may indicate past exposure. If symptoms were mild and improved, it may have been viral.
