Hi,
It seems that she might be having bacterial infection, possibly due to acute urinary tract infection.
Continue with antibiotic medicine and within 2-3 days she will be alright.
Give her enough water and liquid and keep her well hydrated.
Keep her local hygiene of genital parts proper by cleaning the part while giving shower.
Ok and take care.
