Hello,
I really hope that your son is feeling better.

I would suggest you to get his blood culture done (which is much better than Widal) and start with suitable antibiotics. Paracetamol should be able to take care of the fever

Low appetite, vomiting, headache and fever are commonly seen in typhoid.
Also, there is a considerable wasting of muscles and weight loss.

Give a child a diet that is low in fat. Lots of healthy juice, fruits and vegetables.

I hope this helps and the kid is fine real soon.
take care
