Hi,
Widal test may remain positive even after 5-6 months after treatment with typhoid. This is not an indicator of whether you are treated or not.
You did not tell anything about whether you are still having fever or not or any gastric problem(constipation or diarrhoea). If your fever is still going on with no break up or you are still having all symptoms then I would suggest you to get a blood culture and antibiotic sensitivity to be done, so that we can know about your status whether the antibiotic you are having you might be resistant to it,and we might have to change the antibiotic. And if your symptoms are going away then only raised widal is not an indicator of this,that you are not getting well.
Diet to be taken in typhoid is no diffrrent except to avoid deep fried stuff you can have anything what ever you want to eat,but your body should be able digest it.
1) Fresh juice
2) Cocunut water
3) Porridge
4) Banana
4) Milk
5) Custard
6) Pulses
7) Mashed potato
At times milk and milk products may cause diarrhoea,if that is the case with you then avoid milk products.
The answer to your last question is the same if your symptoms are coming down then you don't need to do anything, else you may consult a doctor with above tests,you may also go for typhoid vaccine(prescribed only by a doctor) if you are having repeated typhoid and also check the source for your water supply. At times the typhoid can get chronic also which may cause stone in your gall bladder also.
