I have just received my Widal report and I have a query regarding how to interpret it. Can you help me understand whether it indicates typhoid or not?

A single Widal test is not very reliable. A titre of more than 1:160 for S. typhi O/H may indicate recent infection. Consider repeat test or TyphiDot.

Take a Typhidot Test Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

Widal test report shows S. Typhi O 1:40 positive, S. Typhi H 1:160 positive, S. Para Typhi AH negative, and S. Para Typhi BH negative. Is this typhoid high, medium, or low? What are the common medicines for this?

I have had a fever for the last 3 days, and today my report confirmed typhoid. I also feel heaviness in my chest but have no other symptoms. I am eating properly, sleeping well, taking steam, and doing gargles. Please guide me on how to recover quickly.
