My lab report shows S. Typhi O titer at 1:120 and H titer at 1:40. Could you please explain what this means? Do I have typhoid fever? Also, how long does it typically take to recover if I am infected?

I got a complete body profile test and found that my hemoglobin and RBC are below average. Please tell me how to increase them. My serum triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol are above average; please tell me how to decrease them.
