Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Those pin head spots could be sign of bleeding due to severe liver damage. You need to get her to the Doctor immediately otherwise she is at increased risk of chronic liver disease and liver cancer. She needs her liver function to be assessed otherwise she can bleed out. Once she is on treatment she will recover and less chance for the above from happening. She needs to follow universal barrier precautions. Let her avoid eating fatty food, spicy food. Let her eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink plenty of water.
