Hi XXXXXXX
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
It seems like the Typhoid infection is still persisting in you.
I suggest that you repeat the widal test again in a few days, and check for the titres afresh.
If it still shows that you have o antigen at 1:320, you might require another course of antibiotics.
Meanwhile, the precautions that you could take is to maintain good personal hygiene, food hygiene. Wash your hands thoroughly before every meal.
Avoid consuming high fatty and oily food. Eat easy to digest, simple foods such as porridge and dal rice.
