WIDAL test is not diagnostic of typhoid fever, unless it's Possitve in high titer or rising titer, it may indicate past infection, Blood culture with BachTalert is ideal , however you have to get it done before starting antibiotics, However I doubt if your enteric fever diagnosed earlier was it confirmed with blood culture?
It's unlikely that it responded to Ayurveda treatment without antibiotics, . If it's diagnosed based on single WIDAL test, it may b false Possitve,
