Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain in case if there is no complication and she is stable with normal vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate,pulse and body temperature, then she can be discharged from the hospital with proper prescription of medication and physiotherapy demonstration..
I would suggest you to give her soft diet with ample of liquids and also the medications advised to her..
Doing oral exercises will help in retaining functioning and flexibility of muscles..
Get regular follow ups done with your treating physician.
Hopefully she will be completely recovered soon..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
