Hello Anupama Verma,

Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Every fever after an episode of Typhoid is not a typhoid relapse. Widal will not help in diagnosing a relapse because in widal you are only checking the antibody levels which will remain high ( especially H) for some time.
You require to have cultures done to detect the bacteria t say it is typhoid.
You may contact me with full details of treatment and I shall be happy to guide you to treatment to eradicate and prevent relapse.
Take Care
