Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.

Firstly I need to tell you that your Widal test is negative. The titer as in your case is found in normal individuals. It appears you are having viral fever which in most cases is self limiting. Just take acetaminophen if fever. Take adequate rest. Take multivitamin and multimineral supplements. Drink plenty of water. Get haemogram done and kidney function test. Get dengue NS1 and malaria test done.

Hope I answered your query.
Rating and review will be appreciated.
