Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. Typhoid infection usually requires a 15 to 20 days depending on the individual situation. Widal test is diagnostic as well as prognostic tests available. It will clear up once the bacteria Salmonella type clears from the system. So once your antibiotics kill all the bacteria tidal test becomes negative. Please complete the treatment to get complete cure from the infection. Glad to answer your further concern. You can contact me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you, ChatDoctor
