Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your daughter having headache for which she has taken Ibuprofen, has cold sweats and bite marks around rectum/anus.
The most probable cause from the history you have provided look to be intestinal infection with toxaemia, The infection causes the bite marks around the anus as the infection directly affects the skin.
I would advise her the following:
Tests of stool, blood- routine and culture and sensitivity.
A course of antibiotics, metronidazole and probiotics and symptomatic treatment with paracetamol and so on.
She will be fine with this.
Local cleaning the anal area with plain water and applying liquid povidone iodine helps a lot.
I find this answer helpful
