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?

My Widal test report says O positive and H negative. Can you say whether my result is serious or not? My age is 17 and I am male.

My mother has been having fever for the past 33 days. When she takes medication, the fever temporarily goes away, but it returns after some time. She also has diabetes and thyroid issues and is experiencing significant body pain. Her recent test report indicates typhoid fever. How can we effectively treat this, and are there any further tests we should consider?
