Hi,
It seems that there might be having viral infection giving this problem.
But many a time it might be mixed infection with bacterial infection.
In such cases she might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days.
As you are going out side there is no harm starting antibiotic medicine after consulting your doctor.
Ok and take care.
