Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your son is known to have typhoid but it should be diagnosed by blood culture and the widal test based on the result we can decide on the diagnosis.

Typhoid is a disease which is transmitted by drinking contaminated water and eating contaminated food.

For your 4 year old son you can give food which will put less burden to the liver. Milk can be given unless allergic to milk. Diet rich in fat and protein should be avoided.

Soft diet and food rich in carbohydrates can be given to your son.
Thank you.
