Hello there,
Salmonella typhi is a causative organism for typhoid.With the titres you reported it is possible that the child has an active infection and needs to be treated with a course of antibiotics. Do not worry, it is fully treatable but the treatment needs to start soon. Please take him to a paediatrician soon.
Hope this helps,
