Hi,
Widal test with your titre suggests infection and after treatment if it has come to normal, it means it is cured.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection and can be seen in carrier state too. If you think you are a possible carrier, try to get a stool culture done.
If stool examination is negative, we can assume you cannot be in carrier state also.
Typhoid does not take 5-6 months of therapy. A routine therapy is adequate unless we are looking at a carrier state, in which condition cholecystectomy of gall bladder removal is advised.
Take care
Any further queries, happy to help again.
