Hello,
If your treating doctor says that your daughter doesn't need admission,then it must be a correct observation.In general patients with typhoid fever are treated as OPD patients and admission is done only in few cases where there are complications present.
After a proper antibiotic therapy typhoid fever may take 4-6 days to normalise,however you should make sure that a complete antibiotic course for 2 weeks must be completed,lest relapse occurs.
Thanks
