I have done a Widal test, and the results are positive: S. Typhi O is 1:160 and S. Typhi H is 1:80. I am not having any fever at the moment. Are these values considered high, medium, or low? How long will it take to recover, and could you please suggest any appropriate treatment or medicines?

Your Widal test result (O: 1:160, H: 1:80) may suggest a past or early typhoid infection, but since you have no fever, this may not be an active case. Widal alone is not fully reliable. To confirm whether treatment is needed, its best to do a Typhidot or blood culture test. Avoid taking antibiotics unless confirmed. Most mild typhoid cases recover in 7 to 10 days with the right medicine.
Dr. Kamran Suggests...
Take a Typhoid Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test
