Thanks for posting you query to health care magic.
first you should be investigated for
1. blood culture and sensitivity test 2.urine routien and microscopic examination
3.complete blood count
4 Liver function test .
also give me if there is cough associated with fever if it is there sputum examination for Acid fast bacilli to rule out tuberculosis should be done .
As your widal test do not go in favor of typhoid as titre goes down so there may be some other ineffective cause . antibiotic you are taking is not effective so take treatment after sensitivity report . review me after investigation report.
hope you are satisfied with my answer . feel free to communicate if any query .
