hi,
Just read through your details .Viral hepatitis as i understand can cause fever but it will be good to know what is the state of her liver functions.you can help the doctor in diagnosis in many simple ways
Low grade fever in a 11 year old can be due to so many causes.
Record her temperature for 2 full days without giving any fever medications .show this temp record to your doctor ,Write down and tick after all symptoms
there are tests that can tell whether it is typhoid or not.Before treatment test blood for typhoid,test urine for infection,blood again for liver functions ,ultrasound scan of abdomen .if fever is low grade ,better to start treatment after the results which will be available in a day .
I am sure with specific treatment her fever will subside ..
