Brief Answer:
Get proper investigations.
Detailed Answer:
I suppose she should get following tests as priority:
1. Urine Routine and Culture.
2. Malaria Antigen.
3. Typhi Dot.
Till her reports are available she should be started on antibiotic like Levofloxacin which provides as good coverage against Urinary tract infections as well as common respiratory infections.
For fever she can take Paracetamol.
Make sure she drinks plenty of fluids which would help in flushing her Urinary system as well as in maintain hydration.
I hope it helps you.
Get investigations and write back with reports.
