Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern
The symptoms she is experiencing could be premenstrual symptom or due to pregnancy. Since she is 2 weeks late, please be advised to take a home pregnancy test. Also, follow up with her gynecologist to get vaginal swab and urine analysis done to rule out any infection.
Regards
Dr.Lekshmi
