Hello and thank you for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query,
Have seen the details of your aunt,
Actually she is having Bacterial as well as fungal infection of the gut a stool culture and sensitivity test should also be done to find out which antibiotic is the bacteria sensitive and a course of that antibiotic has to be given to her accordingly.
