Well, if she was mine I would try a round of antibiotics. We can try the Cipro, but if you truly can get what you need without a prescription I would rather go with a drug called amoxicillin/clavulanate. It is sold in the US under the brand name Augmentin but it is available as a generic under the actual drug name. It is a combination of two drugs as the name implies. It is NOT the same as straight amoxicillin. The Cipro is excellent for the things it treats, but since we don't actually know what is wrong here, the amoxicillin/clavulanate has broader coverage and so a better chance of working. Again, if it is a problem to get, we can try the Cipro.

We will need an accurate weight on her in order to dose this for you so you will need to get a gram scale. In the US they are often used to weigh food for those trying to lose weight and are fairly inexpensive. You will need a 1cc or smaller syringe (without the needle) to dose this. The weight and small syringe will be needed for either med. We will also need to know the size of the pill you get in milligrams as both of the meds are available in different sizes.
