I have had a fever for the past 10 days. My Widal test report shows 1:20 L negative. Does this mean it is typhoid or not, doctor?

Hello Doctor, Can I get my son blood test done? Last week he had a fever with chikungunya like symptoms, and now he is weak. Since last evening, he has developed rashes on his face but no fever.
