Hi
What was the titre?
Widal test may be positive for about 3 months even from the onset of the illness. So its not informative if you repeat it again and again.
If there is no fever, food intake and activity are back to normal, you need not worry.
Hope you have completed the full course of antibiotics.
Food and water should be in good hygiene to prevent such infections.
