Well to keep a truly open mind, the swelling head could mean anything. Because of recent attack history, I'd want to rule out an injury to the head. Any punctures that you might have overlooked because they closed up very quickly? Particularly about the sinuses? It's been a number of days, which leads me to the next thought.
Sometimes in a period of great stress, birds are more susceptible to secondary illnesses like respiratory problems. This is something that I would want to consider and rule out with this bird as well. Is there any chance of taking her photo?
As for the probiotic, I'm surprised that there seemed to be a reaction to it as the ingredients are excellent. I don't know that i'd recommend the olive oil and corn syrup as I really can't see any use for it given the other things you're offering. Rice milk might be nice, but again there's not really a benefit to it.
My concern, too, is the head swelling. I would keep her up and look carefully for any respiratory symptoms. I would get ready with a really good antibiotic. I would look at something injectable if possible. Tylan, LS20. It's possible that you could use penicillin G procaine; it's best for wounds - would treat a wound issue or possibly coryza or cholera if it's one of those two. (See http://www.firststatevetsupply.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=21_31&products_id=110). Or a combination antibiotic in the water. If you can't afford a vet, I would highly recommend talking to one. If you can't, you could possible talk to Dr. Brown at first state as he'll give a consultation for $25 which is much less than a vet visit. (Same website.)
In the mean time, isolate her again. Really listen to her head, throat, and chest for any respiratory noises. Check her nostrils carefully daily. Look to see if you can find any signs of puncture wounds to rule those out. Yes, give her the polyvisol vitamins. When you medicate if you medicate, use the probiotic. That blend (bifidum and lactobacilli) are awesome to protect against secondary yeast/fungal infections from antibiotic use.
try tempting her to eat with boiled eggs, her crumbles, the probiotic, mixed together in a damp (not wet) mash. many birds prefer that. It will give her a nutritional boost. And yes - I think your instincts for changing diet too quick are good. But if that's what it takes to get her to get some fluid in her, a little fruits won't hurt - something watery. expect watery droppings as a result.
Be sure also to do her chores last and consider using antibiotic gel before you go in the house so you don't leave germs on the doorknob from a possible respiratory infection. (By the way, have any of them ever had anything respiratory before?) Make sure any family members know not to go around the other birds after doing her chores - just to do her last, and do give her lots of love.
