Hi,
Amoxicillin is an antibiotic which means that the doctor has found a bacterial infection. If the child suffers from body ache and headache you can give him acetaminophen or ibuprofen syrup every 8 hours to resolve the body ache and headache. If he is having cough with phelgm then you can use a cough expectorant as Mucinex . You can also use a cough suppressant as Dextromethorphan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
