Pediatrician,  's  Response
Your child could be suffering from a viral infection which could manifest with the mentioned symptoms. Usually it lasts for 5-7 days irrespective of use of antibiotics. Medications that you are giving are proper. Medicines that reduce pain (analgesics) and fever (antipyretics) are used to relieve headaches, body aches, and fever. The analgesics/antipyretics that are available OTC are aspirin, tylenol, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen. Gurgling with lukewarm water should help. You may add disprin dispersible tablets.

Please be patient. The condition should soon resolve.

Hope that helps.
