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?
after going through the history of your baby, it is most likely to be viral throat infection i.e. flu. Her tummy ache is mostly due to amoxicillin. Sometime this antibiotic gives stomach upset.  Her leg pain is mostly due to flu known as myalgic.  I will suggest continuing amoxicillin for total five days. Give paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever... dosage according to her weight.
