She sought medical attention at Kalimoni Mission Hospital where a doctor prescribed some injections and gave her a couple of drugs that did not help better her condition.
She sought help from Bumula education office headed by Mr Fred Waswa who took her to Bungoma County Referral Hospital where she was admitted for a day.
