Paratyphi BH is less than 1:20 (negative) I am taking antibiotics four times a day and following a light diet. I currently have no fever. How long will it take for me to recover completely?

A Widal titer of 1:160 may suggest typhoid, but if symptoms are resolved, no active infection remains. Continue antibiotics as advised and complete the full course. If symptoms persist, get CBC done.

My son Widal blood test indicates that Salmonella Typhi (H) value is 1:40 dilution and is declared positive by the lab. I have learned that if it is more than 1:60, it means he is infected. Is this correct? He does not have any other problems except high fever of 103 and headache, but the fever repeats at four hour intervals.
