Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

You have negative widal test.You are not suffering from typhoid fever.
Salmonella O or H antigen titer values equal or greater than 1: 160 is considered as positive.
However four fold increase in titration is confirmatory.
Tiredness may be due to other reasons.
You need few more investigations like routine hemogram,Chest X-ray(PA view),Ultrasound of abdomen,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,Urine RE/ME.Further investigations can be done if needed.
Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
