[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Widal test is a serological test used in diagnosis of typhoid fever, but it is not a confirmatory test. The typhoid fever should be confirmed by blood investigations and blood culture. As you have tested your sons blood for the tidal test the values of S Ty phi O antigen and S Ty phi H antigen are above 180 is considered as positive for typhoid, but there should be rising titles for confirmation of typhoid. As your pediatrician has started him on the antibiotic it will clear off the infection from the body of your son. It will take 7-10 days to clear off the infection from the body. You can wait for another 5 days with the same treatment and the condition will improve with this treatment only. I would suggest you to follow the same treatment for few more days it will work out and reduces the symptoms and improve the condition. Thank you.
