Hello dear,
Thank you for asking HOCM
Widal test used to detect salmonella typi infection in you body , it causes typhoid fever.
But your test is negative.

The Widal test is positive if O antigen titer is more than 1:160 in an active infection,
or if TH antigen titer is more than 1:160 in past infection or in immunized persons.
A single Widal test is of little clinical relevance due to the high number of cross-reacting infections, including malaria.

So please repeat test after 5-6 days if fever is not subside.

Also do test for malaria.
You may be suffering from just viral fever.

Just take tablet dolo 500 mg three times a day to reduce fever.
It will cure with in 3-4 days as viral fever generally subsides..

Hope this may help you
Take care
