Hello dear thanks for trusting health care magic.
She should be tested for dengue fever and in case found negative then she needs to take steroids 10 mg daily for fifteen days and repeat the test.
Consult a good tertiary care hospital so that they have ICU facility.
In case you have other questions you can contact me directly on http://bit.ly/drmanishajain
