Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Anything which contains sugars can attract the ants. However, there can be some hormone that can attract them too.
First of all, I want to know one thing was her urine checked for sugars. If yes, then you need not to worry, just take the antibiotics as prescribed and she would be okay.
If her urine wasn't checked for the amount of sugar in them get checked it again.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vivek Goyal
