Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. 1:160 of H antigen indicates you are positive for salmonella typhi infection.
2. You can followup after few days for rising titre.
3. Treatment is necessary. Discuss with your doctor regarding medication with ofloxacin group of antibiotics.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
