hi, your widal test is positive on first occasion, and you took the right treatment for that, however the titer afterwards may rise due to vaccination also. so don't worry only rising titer is significant, you don't have rising titer and you have vaccination also. just go for titer again after a week. it will fall down. so don't worry regarding titer, if you still have fever or any other symptoms of typhoid then go to the doctor and take treatment accordingly. otherwise don't worry for that.
