Blood cultures are diagnostic test for typhoid and not Widal test. In typhoid, widal test titres will rise after 2 to 4 weeks and one cannot wait till then to diagnose typhoid. Patient has to be treated earlier then that. Hence, if clinically and/or by blood cultures it is typhoid, one has to treat it. Regarding your case necessary history and details are missing. Consider visiting Infectious Disease Physician either in person or consult online with more details of Ur case

Single Widal test is not typhoid. In a repeat test if titre is doubled then it could be typhoid. Again duration of fever and nature of fever is usually continuous in typhoid. Necessary information not available to comment whether it is typhoid or not.
