I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with Typhoid when I was 14 years old. I underwent treatment but a relapse of Typhoid occurred, as per the doctor when he examined the next report. Thereafter, I was vaccinated for 3 years against typhoid.
Now I had been suffering from fever since a week and other symptoms and was asked to get my blood tested. The doctor has told me that it is typhoid yet again.

Now I had been suffering from fever since a week and other symptoms and was asked to get my blood tested. I had fever and severe headache, nausea, extreme cold and feeling cold. The doctor checked the report and has told me that it is typhoid yet again. I have attached a report of my test. I want to know if I am on the right track or not. On the internet I found some relevant information (on web-Salmonella typhi H and O titres greater than or equal to 1:160 occurred in respectively 82% and 58% of typhoid fever patients; only 4% of healthy individuals and 8% of non-typhoid patients had Widal titres greater than or equal to 1:80. In typhoid fever, the H titre is elevated earlier and more frequently than the O titre. Antibody rise is maximal during the second week of illness. Antibiotic treatment did not affect the rise of antibody titre in typhoid fever. A single Widal test in an unvaccinated Ethiopian patient showing H and/or O titres greater than or equal to 1:160 and typhoid-like symptoms is strongly strongly suggestive of typhoid fever.) but I couldn’t understand if my doctor is giving me treatment according to that information.
