HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The symptoms are in keeping with an infection which can be viral, bacterial or parasitic. There are different illnesses that can cause muscle aches and pains such as influenza, dengue, toxoplasmosis, lyme disease, malaria.

In light of her flu like symptoms however, it is likely that she has the flu. She needs to rest, use a lot of fluids, continue paracetamol to help with the fever and joint pain.
She can also use over the counter cough and cold meds to help with those symptoms.

If her symptoms worsen then she may want to consider visiting a doctor.

I hope this helps
