hello, may be your child must have got the infection but if she has been treated properly with full course of the antibiotic i dont think the same infection is persisting. The other probability is the general health and immune status of your child may not be so good that is why she is frequently getting fever due to some infection. so consult a good paediatrician and get some basic investigations to know the hemoglobin and cell counts and get treatment accordingly.
