Brief Answer:
Albendazole

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
There is a possibility of worm infestation. Give her tablet albendazole 400 mg single tablet in night and tablet cetrizine daily in night for 5 days
This should help her.
If there is no response then it might be a hormonal imbalance and she would require gynaecologist consultation.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
