Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
First of all you have to be sure that are you really suffering from Typhoid or not.
Widal test is not sensitive. It is just an antibody response. So titres remain high for long and they even rise after a subclinical infection.
So, stop getting tested again and again.
The temperature you are describing is normal.
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
