Well,I would beg to differ.
Just a little elevated blood counts and CRP is no indication for admission in hospital,the clinical condition of the child is.
Secondly,typhoid fever is never treated just on clinical picture but on investigation which decides duration of treatment.
Give him a normal diet.
