She is suffering from severe dehydration so she urgently needs an IV fluid hydration.

What are dehydration and IV fluids?

When your body doesn't have enough water, dehydration occurs. Your body can't function effectively without enough. Depending on how much body fluid is lost, dehydration can be mild, moderate, or severe.

IV solutions maintain fluid equilibrium when water is lost. Water makes up over 60% of the human body, with two-thirds of it being stored intracellularly. The remainder is located between cells and in blood vessels.

In this situation, she must be treated by replenishing the fluid level in the body. It would take 2-3 days.
