hi,
thank you for your query.
burning in feet and legs in elderly is commonly due to unbalanced glucose levels.
hence in addition to blood tests i would advise you to get a blood sugar work up also done.
meanwhile she can drink lots of water and fruit juices.take rest.and consult your GP FOR change in anti-biotics.
thank you,
wishing you good health
