If she has an infection she'll need a vet. That's just all there is to it. If you're not able or willing to provide that, you could try to find a reptile rescue that will take her and provide proper vet care. The cheapest part of reptile care, most of the time, is the purchase price!
It sounds like she was egg bound. I don't know about the complexities of dealing with that so I'll leave that for others. Maybe you'll get lucky and she'll be OK now that she's expelled the bad eggs. Or not. Only a knowledgeable reptile vet could say for sure.

And to my surprise around 4 or 5 hard ovals came out, along with a large amount of foul smelling fluid.
If those "ovals" were white what you actually pushed out out are urate and liquid urine.
For the anal prolapse it happens when you massage and try to help an animal pass out any possible blockage, in most cases it only last minutes, if it does not which is not the case it can be a SERIOUS issue. You should really not do this type of things with your limited experience BTW
As for eating you are offering TOO often do not offer more than once a week, the more you often the more it will lead to refusal.
I would suggest lowering the hot side to 86/88.
Leave your snake alone for a week NO HANDLING
Offer a live mouse (size equal the girth size of your snake) in the tub preferably in the evening, if not eaten remove after 10/15 min.
In the mean time NO handling until your BP eats for you.

Phew, not egg-bound. Well, that makes it easier . Hopefully she doesn't have any infections or anything like that, and the only problem is her not eating. Which is really common in BPs and not usually an emergency.
What kind of heating do you use? Any way to get an accurate hygrometer? The most common reason for a BP not eating is that the conditions are off. Doesn't have to be anything big---even a tiny change can make a difference. How many hides does she have, and how big are they?
