A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: I would prescribe a high calorie high protein diet! energy and protein needs are increased due to the fever (typhoid) and low intake. Meals should be small and given at frequent interval, instead of a few large meals a day. Intake of oral fluids and salts should be sufficient to cover up the loss. A bland, soft (for easier digestion and absorption) may help.
