Does My Widal Test Result Indicate Typhoid?

I went through widal test yesterday. Salmonella typhi o (to) reactive 1:160 and salmonella typhi h (th) reactive 1:80. I suffered from fever last week and had vomiting followed by stomach pain three days ago (it might also have been due to irregularities in schedule and lack of hygiene eating outside.) Is it the indication for typhoid. Pls reply.
