It is good that you did Widal test for typhoid and this is equivocal. It looks that you are either a traveler or eat out of the home.
You should get investigations for other causes also as the test is equivocal meaning can be positive or negative. I would advise you the following:
Blood culture and sensitivity before you are started on antibiotics, Other tests of blood, urine and stool. Ultrasonography and CT scan of the abdomen. Enteroclysis if indicated.
A good clinical examination of the abdomen by a General Surgeon and further tests , and treatment according to the findings..
