Post-typhoid weakness and altered taste (everything tasting sour/bitter) are quite common and can take several weeks to recover. This happens due to slow healing of the gut and low nutrition levels.
What you can do:
Give her a soft, easily digestible diet (khichdi, dal, curd rice, fruits, soups).
Ensure good hydration with plenty of fluids, coconut water, ORS.
Add multivitamins and probiotics (after consulting a doctor).
Adequate rest and sleep are important.
Next Steps
If she develops persistent high fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, or weight loss, please get her evaluated again with blood tests (CBC, LFT, typhoid serology).
Health Tips
Recovery is usually gradual, so don’t worry—she will feel better with time and supportive care.
