Hi,
Since your child has tested positive for typhoid ,she will require a good antibiotic cover.
However the ideal way of treating it would be to get blood culture and antibiotic sensitivity test done.
Instead of oral giving injectable antibiotic would be a better choice till the fever subsides and then oral antibiotics for additional 7days for complete cure and prevent recurrence.
The diet should be light ,less spicy and oily including fruits.Once the child is completely fine then give typhoid vaccine which would protect the child from recurrent typhoid fever for 3yrs.
Bye
Take care
