Brief Answer:
There is nothing to avoid pregnancy right now.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I can understand your concern here.
There is no medicine which will prevent pregnancy a month after intercourse. She should go for a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
If her test results are positive than she should consult a Gynaecologist and can take abortion pills if she isn't planning to continue pregnancy.

Please get back to us with her test results.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more questions.
Good luck.
Regards

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Sorry for the delay in my response.
She can have the symptoms of pregnancy as early as she missed her period, in 50% of women it is as early as 5 weeks of pregnancy, 60% of women in 6 weeks of pregnancy and 80% of women in 8 weeks of pregnancy.
Usually early symptoms of pregnancy are nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue and weakness.
Hope this is useful.
Good luck.
