TH 1:160 may reflect past exposure. TO is low. Without other symptoms or rising titers, it may not be typhoid. Do the required blood culture if fever continues.

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

I was tested for typhoid about 25 days ago, and at that time my Widal test showed O type 1:160 and H type 1:160. I recently got tested again, and now all other types are negative except O type, which is still showing 1:160. I would like to know the reason behind this. What should I do next, and what kind of food should I eat during this recovery period?
