Brindom works methodically to try to ease Brienna's symptoms. He isn't sure, exactly, what the disease is but he applies a range of remedies that should at least make her comfortable, and hopefully help her improve. She rests more easily when he is done, but only tomorrow will tell if he has been successful or not.
Brienna is in no fit state to answer questions so her mother, Tayce, answers as best she can. The rash came first, along with a headache and fatigue. Then the coughing, which got worse, and the swellings under the arms. Tayce doesn't know what Brienna was doing to contract the disease - she works as a maid across the river but it was one of her days off before she showed signs of becoming ill.
The old Varisian woman enters, bearing a bowl of something foul-smelling. She looks over at Brindom and the girl.
"Ah, she's resting, good." she says. "May I speak with you, young gentleman? I know you may think of me as just a moth witch-woman peddling fakery to the stupid gadje, yes? I know the young gentleman downstairs thinks that. But," she points at the girl, "I was midwife when this one came into the world, and the boys, yes, and even the young lady here," she indicates Tayce. "Anybody in Trail's End who was ever sick and got better will tell you that they have Mamusia Lela to thank for being alive. So while I may not have any fancy gadje learning degrees, I know about making people well." She leans in closer to Brindom. "May we talk, healer to healer? Do you recognise this sickness? I've been healer for fifty years, and learned what I know from my mamusia and hers before her, and this is not a sickness I have ever seen before."

I don't think you can Take20 on treating disease, as it takes time to determine success or failure. You can Take10 for a result of 18, which is enough. However, this will add +4 to Brienna's next saving throw, so still may not work outright, depending on the result.
Neither Brindom nor Manachan can see anything in the house that seems suspicious or likely to be responsible for causing or prolonging the disease.
