Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I can understand your concern.

There might be most likely enteric fever (typhoid) in your case.

Your clinical history and Widal test clues towards Typhoid.

Though there is need for further evaluation.
Following investigation may be advisable in your case -
- Complete Blood Count.
- Renal & Liver function test.
- Urine examination.
- Blood culture & sensitivity testing.
- Ultrasonography of abdomen and pelvis.
- Chest X-ray.

These investigations helps in confirming the diagnosis of Typhoid and to rule out its complications.

In case of Typhoid there is need for long term antibiotic treatment depending upon clinical evaluation and blood culture.
There might be need for hospitalization depending upon all above.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
