Answers:

Malaria:
Without drugs, severe malaria is always fatal. With drugs, the survival rate jumps to 80–85 percent.

e coli:
Most people recover without antibiotics or other specific treatment in 5–10 days. There is no evidence that antibiotics improve the course of disease, and it is thought that treatment with some antibiotics may precipitate kidney complications.[20] Antidiarrheal agents, such as loperamide (imodium), should also be avoided.

That's difficult to answer. The doctors treating her would know. Both of those diseases are no joke. Malaria is a major killer in certain parts of the world, and it can be treated with anti-malarial drugs. E. coli can be dangerous, it all depends on what strain of bacteria it is. I think she will be fine



What did the doctors say?
They will know her condition far better than us.



dont worry she'l be fine
its curable..
