The WIDAL test reports both the flagellar (H) and the somatic (O) antigen titres. Significant titres to diagnose a patient as having typhoid are:
Salmonella typhi H: 1:200
Salmonella typhi O: 1:100
Your titre is 1:120; if this is the O antigen titre then it is not significant.
Typhoid infection can be prevented by simple measures such as consuming boiled water, thoroughly washing vegetables, fruits before consumption. Typhoid mainly spreads through contaminated food and water.
As far as your red cell count is concerned a normal RBC count would be about 4.5 million/mm3. Mild anisocytosis, normochromic cormocytic cells are normal findings as long as your hemoglobin and hematocrit is within the normal range.
