Hello sir, my 2 year old child is suffering from fever. Widal test report shows O titre 1:40, H 1:20, AH 1:20, BH 1:20. Is it positive?

These Widal titers (1:40 to 1:20) are low and usually not diagnostic of typhoid, especially without symptoms. In young children, Widal is less reliable. Repeat only if clinically necessary. Monitor fever, hydration, and consult a pediatrician.

My test report shows Salmonella typhi O is 1:160 and Salmonella typhi H is 1:80. Do I have typhoid fever? I have a fever every evening. After treatment, my ESR report is 18. I am 24 years old. I need a helpful answer.

My daughter has had typhoid twice. Her first Widal test showed O: 160, H: 80, and the second test showed O: 160, H: 160. The most recent test shows O: 80. Could you please advise if there are any complications for my child and suggest what steps or precautions we should take next?
