As she already taken sufficient & full course of medicine ,there is no need to give her any more antibiotic until it is drug resistance typhoid.Typhoid is no contraindication for normal diet.She can definitely take normal diet immediately.If fever still persist after stopping antibiotic rule out other causes of fever.

Dear Moon,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic forum,
You have to follow the instruction of the doctor you are taking treatment for allopathic medicines ofloxacin and others,but I can surely suggest you something which will help you for getting speedy recovery of your daughter.
You cannot put her on normal diet for aftleat 10 days from now.Give her liquid diet because her intestines would not be able to digest all hard stuff.
You can give her Alfa Alfa Q 16 drops in 1/2 cup of water twice daily which will increase her appetite and give her energy to work out her routine.


Hope this helps,
Wish you speedy recovery,
thanks,
