Brief Answer:
Elaborate the symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.
Firstly your test for Widal is not definitive because O antigen is below 100 and H antigen is below 200. So I would suggest you to get tyhidot test or blood culture for salmonella done. In your case it appears to be viral infection. Mostly self limiting and requires rest, diet and hydration to be maintained. Take acetaminophen if fever. Get haemogram done. Visit a GP for evaluation.
Hope I answered your query.
