What Causes Swelling In Foot, Knee, Leg And Elbow With Fever?

My daughter is in a detention facility and woke up with a very swollen foot, with swelling moving up to knee of that leg; the elbow swelled; temp went up to 103; head began hurting significantly. She was given Motrin and started on Bactrim. Was given crutches, but cannot lift swollen foot. Could not find any bite marks and did not have a fall or other trauma. Will hopefully be seen tomorrow at medical, but no guarantees. What do you think may be causing this? She is 33.
