HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, the paracetamol would help with the aches and pain that she is experiencing.
At her age, she can use adult doses of 1 g every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
Probiotics would help shorten the course of diarrhea. They can be used on their own or with certain yogurts.
Once she is symptom free for at least 4 hours, she can increase the fluids and also start small amounts of dry foods.
I hope this helps
