Hello,
I understand your concern for your mother.
If her widal O titre is 1:160 and she is having fever, then it is Typhod.
Typhoid can only be treated with antibiotics. Because she is weak and vomiting, she may require to be admitted.
With proper treatment, Typhoid is cured easily. Without treatment it can be dangerous with dangerous complications.
So you should take your mother, at the earliest ,to a specialist in Internal Medicine and have her treated well.
Wish her a quick recovery
