Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

As she is discharged from the hospital, try to improve her nutrition by giving soft diet and plenty of oral fluids.

She can be supplemented with one multivitamin syrup.

And take her for follow up with the doctor to assess her recovery.

Provide her rest.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
