Hi! Chills is usually associated with fever. This is the body's way to produce heat when cold. The blue lips can also indicate that your child is feeling cold. The fever means that there's an infection going on. It can still be a viral infection at this time and the stomach ache is part of it. For the meantime while waiting for your doctors appointment, You can give her fever medicine and try to make her feel warm by putting blanket. You don't expect her to have her normal appetite because of the fever but you can give her soup and crackers. Empty tummy can also cause stomach ache. Hope I was able to help you.
