Hi,

This is most probably due to super added infection on top of the fluid collection that she had. She might need an antibiotic if the infection is bacterial. Your doctor should know about this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
