Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.

The Widal report is suggestive of Typhoid Fever. You need to be started on an antibiotic course.

The antibiotics are fine but it has to be given for 7-10 days.

It's not harmful , it's just typhoid infection and with proper antibiotics its becomes fine. Totally curable
