Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Only rising titres of Widal are important.
They can rise or can persist for months even after an acute infection or sub clinical infection.
It is not like that if you have got treatment for typhoid your widal test would get negative.
It might be positive for few months even after you have been successfully treated.
So, don't look at them, let us know if you have persisting fever.
This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy
