Hello

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.
If she has typhoid then she needs good nutrition and hydration as typhoid usually causes hectic fever, loss of appetite, weight loss and severe fatigue.
Hence she need to ensure lot of fluid intake like water, juices, soups, coconut water, lemonade which preferably have to be made at home.
She has to ensure adequate calorie intake.
Typhoid usually causes nausea hence some over the counter anti emetic like domstal 10 mg thrice a day will help. She can take small frequent meals if nausea is there.
Ensure hygienic food intake and clean water intake.
All this will help her for speedy recovery in addition to other medications prescribed by your doctor.
Wish her speedy recovery.
Happy to help. Best wishes.
