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?

I have been experiencing body pains for the past 5 days and developed a fever yesterday after traveling. Today, I had a Widal test, and the results are O: 1:80, H: 1:80. What treatment is required?

Hello I was diagnosed with typhoid in August. From that day till now I have visited many doctors and I am still using antibiotics. Today I got my blood sample tested again for typhoid and it is still showing positive. I am still feeling weakness and have lost around 10 kg in these 3 months. I am attaching my report. Please can anyone tell me how many days it will take to recover completely? Answer will be appreciated. Thank you.
