Is Stomach Pain, Fever And Leg Pain Are Symptoms Of Flu And Medicines To Be Given?

My 5 year old was given amoxicillin last Friday (Jan 10th) due to an ear infection. She has had amoxicillin many times before. Yesterday afternoon she started complaining of a tummy ache and slept all day which is very unlike her. This morning she awoke with 102.7 temp and is complaining that her legs hurt. She has also complained of her throat being sore. She is still taking the amoxicillin and I have her ibuprofen for her temp. Is this the flu?

hi

After going through the history of your baby, it is most likely to be viral throat infection ie flu. Her tummy ache is mostly due to amoxycillin. sometime this antibiotic gives stomach upset.
Her leg pain is mostly due to flu known as myalgia.
I will suggest to continue amoxycillin for total five days. Give paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever... dosage according to her weight. Hydrate her with plenty of water. Salt water gargles will also help.
Thank you.
