dear user
the normal temperature is 96.8 F . more than it means fever .
initially if u have history of this much fever for 3-4 days definitely u will not get too much symptoms .
but u have weakness .and every patient not necessary develop all symptom .
after 7 days widal test gives accurate result .
still titre o if more than 1/100 is typhoid positive .
your doctor is right .
you should go for test typhidot and blood culture .
you should start your treatment .
hope this will help u .
