Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I don't think the symptoms she is having may be related to flesh eating bacteria. Nausea, dizziness and fatigue may be related to the antibiotics she us taking as as side effects of them. Also she is getting recovered from hernia surgery. I can recommend her to eat small portion meals, drink lots of fluids and water. She may need to use probiotics such enterogermina to reestablish intestinal flora.
She may need to consult a psychiatrist for depression. Taking fluoxetine may be an alternative to treat anxiety.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
