Hi...the response she is getting after the antifungal usage is a clear indication that it could be a fungal infection. Looking sore and itchy is common in fungal infections. You can wait another 24-48 hours before taking to a GP. I don't think this is a bacterial infection. Do not antibiotics unnecessarily as it might aggravate the fungal infection.
