Hi. Was the rash like streaks that is lining? Had she visited some area where Elephantiasis (Infection of leg lymphatics and then swelling) is known? Fever can very well be due to UTI= urinary tract infection as there are 5-6 WBC with dysuria and supra-pubic pain. She must be under antibiotic cover which can give this urine report. At many places Doctors do not give paracetamol to see the real course of the disease. Continue with the antibiotics if already given, may need to change to another antibiotics as sometimes there can be resistance.
