dear user .
widal is good test if it is done after 7 day of fever . if u have a history of fever of 2-3 days u should go for typhi dot test . if typhidot test is positive with this value of widal test result . than definitely u are suffering from typhoid fever .
clinical co-relation is also necessary .
repeat widal after 5 days .
if clinical feature suggestive of typhoid and widal and typhidot both are not giving clear result than u should go for blood culture .
GOLD test for typhoid fever .
