Daughter Sick- should I keep letting her eat the same thing? she is starting to get better?

quick run through:

She was sick with cough and cold for 1 week now,

had the fever for 8 days. fever is done now. Was diagnosed with Pneumonia. She is on antibiotics now. during her sickness she would barely eat, maybe once a day and it would be grapes.

So I let her eat only grapes (and water and milk) because thats all she would have. Now yesterday she was starting to feel better and she had steak with us at supper.

This morning she woke up feeling better,

she asked for grapes though (her favourite) I gave them to her, after she asked for more and more I could tell she was feeling better, I told her no more grapes right now, and gave her some cheerios, eggs and tomatoes. She didnt touch the other food and wanted down, so she went down, out of her high chair.

Is right now the right time to start getting her back to proper eating habbits and start limiting the grapes again?

Update:

Today is day 2 of her antibiotic. She may still have a sore throat though

    Just let this time pass then afterwards immediately you should get her back to her old eating habits.

    Meanwhile, try with her different kinds of food. If she insists, give her the grapes. It's not the right time to discipline her. Plus, she's eating steak. So each meal, suggest and let her choose.

    May she get well soon :)
