Had she been taking antibiotics? I usually take a probiotic along with an antibiotic and a few days after I stop the antibiotic. That usually does the trick for me. However, if you're too run down, maybe that won't even work. Antibiotics kill all bacteria, good and bad. The good bacteria can keep fungus, like yeast, in check, but when all the good bacteria is killed, yeast grows unchecked. Probiotics introduce the good bacteria back into the system, but sometimes it's too little too late. Also, it's possible that your probiotics have gone bad.
