Hi,
The common side effects of folitax include ulcers in the oral cavity, loss of hairs, liver injury, megaloblastic anemia, increased risk of infection, diarrhea and infertility.
Based on the history she seems to be suffering from infection for which her doctor should be consulted for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
