Hi,
As she has completed a course of antibiotics for ten days.
Now important is to prevent infection again.
Keep her local hygiene clean and hygienic.
Take care of cleaning her private parts with clean running water while giving shower.
Keep her nails well cut and clean and take care not to touch her fingers in genital parts.
Ask her to clean properly after passing urine.
Wear cotton shorts with having elasticity on both leg side at thighs.
Ok and take care.
