General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I appreciate your concern for your friend. According to your history it seems that your friend is suffering from gastro-intestinal infection. Her other friends did not got similar infection even after consuming same milk, the reason may be infected vessel in which your friend consumed milk or may be dose of infection. Anyways, my advice is take antibiotic like ofloxacin+ornidazole twice daily for 5 days, Pantoprazole+domperidone combination daily for 5 days under your physicians advice.
Eat Curd or butter milk, fruit juices, drink Oral rehydration solution (ORS) as and when you feel drinking. Avoid spicy and fried foods.
