although the widal titre is normal ,it still can be typhoid as rising titres of widal done on two occasions is more important. also widal takes at least 5 to 7 days after fever to become positive. your symptoms need to be corelated with complete blood picture. please get a CBC done. it can be viral as well.. but definite diagnosis with the information that u have provided in the question is difficult
