Hi
She is suffering from one of the diseases Typhoid/Malaria. From the symptoms you have provided (and the symptoms you have not provided), it looks its Malaria. All the hurting on skin is due to high temperature which causes increased sensitivity in some, other aches are also due to increased temperature, throat ache is probably due to infection may or may not be related to her present condition.
In our OPD setups if patient is not allergic to chloroquine, we will start her on Lariago Kit, which has 2 Tabs immediately, 1 Tab after 6 hours, 1 Tab after 24 hours from first dose, and 1 Tab after 48 hours from first dose . Include Tab Paracetamol 500mg 1-1-1 X 3 days for stabilizing body temperature.
If her temperature is very high, we prescribe Febrinil Injections (Paracetamol IM).
And send the blood for testing with Malaria Antigen and Typhoid for safety.
Above prescription is based on the symptoms provided. Please consider any allergies you have before taking any medications.
