Widal test is not at all reliable. Diagnosis of fever is made from history of illness and tests advised accordingly. Simply from Widal test it's not wise to advice treatment of fever. If typhoid is the diagnosis then there is no 3days antibiotics treatment. Either you are undergoing wrong counseling or wrong treatment.
