Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
If this titer is higher then your previous titer of widal report cosidered it as a positive for typhoid but if it is lower then your previous report then it indicate that you are in the recovery phase but still the recovery is not completed as titer is higher than base line titer and you would be needed further treatment .
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
