Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
there are so many causes for fever . typhoid fever appear as continuous fever and never touches to base line . your widal report is also showing insignificant level of typhoidal antibody level so it could be due to some other infection.
you need to tell me detail of your symptom and undergo some more investigations :
1 .is fever intermittent
2.is fever associated with chils and rigor or burning in urination or pain in abdomen or cough or any other associated symptoms.
you need to undergo :
1.blood culture and sensitivity to detect any bacterial cause of infection and its antibiotic sensitivity.
2.Complete blood count
3.serological test for malaria.
these all examination will help in making diagnosis and treatment of your condition.
the treatment you are taking is empirical so could be effective or not . the definitive treatment I will suggest you after your complete detail as I suggest you.
Hope you would be satisfied with my answer . Feel free to communicate if any query .
