Brief Answer:
Possible fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.

This sounds to me like possible oral thrush or other infectious disease and a detailed evaluation is definitely required.

She should see infectious diseases specialist and dentist for a start. She may also be dehydrated. She must drink more than 2.5 liters of fluids per day, rest and have an easier diet.

If this is thrush, it can be treated with topical antifungal medicines. In case if other infection, antibiotics may be required as per the findings.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wish her a good health.
Regards
