REPLIED Check Mark

She may be having an allergic reaction to the medication. Or the medication may be the start of a yeast infection due to the mediation she is taking. I don't know what she is on the medication for. I would suggest calling her doctor (he has an answering service and will return your call) that way he can advise if you should stop with the antibiotics etc.
