Hi,

The body pain and drowsiness is more likely due to fever. Antibiotic like Clamp kid is usually well tolerated and less likely to cause the mentioned side-effects. It will take minimum of 3 days to see improvement in health after initiation of antibiotic therapy.

Therefore, there is nothing to be concerned about at the moment. In addition the fever is under control which implies that the other associated symptoms of lethargy and body pain will eventually subside a day or two.

Moreover, use of fever medication like paracetamol or ibuprofen can reduce body pain, where as hot flashes felt despite normal temperature can be relieved by tepid water sponging as and when needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
