Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, your sister if not having temperature or fever detected on thermometer then she is free of any illness.
Widal test is obsolete but still, if you want to check for typhoid then get your sister’s blood cultures done and check the growth of typhoid organism on it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
