Doctor: Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. Your cholesterol is not that high to be very worried. You may easily understand from analysis that she has Salmonella typhi infection, which usually causes gastroenterocolitis at kids. I see similar cases amongst children who visit my clinic. From blood analysis you should pay attention to high level of eosinophils, it points to allergical process or helmintiasis. You can discuss this with your treating Doctor. ESR is also increased moderately due inflamed process,after treatment with antibiotics it will get back to normal range.Hope this answers your question.
