HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the use of antibiotics are not clearing up the infections then it is possible that the causative bacteria is resistant to the antibiotics being used.
A sample of urine sent to the lab can determine if this is the case.
To reduce the frequency of future infections, she should drink a lot of water and also use cranberry juice.
Cranberry juice has been shown to be helpful in urinary tract infections.
I hope this helps
