Widal titres suggest past or recent infection. ESR high indicates inflammation. Alone not diagnostic unless symptoms present. Consider repeat if fever persists.

Question

My Widal test report shows: S. Typhi O: 1:160 (positive) S. Typhi H: 1:80 (positive) I took medication for typhoid, but I still experienced headache, nausea, and giddiness. I consulted another doctor, who said the Widal report may not be reliable and it could just be a viral fever. Could you please clarify whether this report indicates typhoid or not?
