Welcome to HCM
Your daughter is recovering from typhoid fever, means the antibiotics given by your doc is working.
As she was ill her apetite and food intake would have been poor, as she is improving by due course it should also improve.
Her leg pain must be mostly a functional pain.it should not cause much of problem to her.Just console her and don stress and talk much abt the leg pain with her. Just ignore it.
If at all your worried you can give her a dose of paracetamol. She will be fine soon.
