Suggest Remedy For Flu Like Fever And Pain In Eyes

Hello, My 6 year old daughter came home from school super grumpy, tired and not acting like herself. Not surprisingly, she started running a fever. I am obviously concerned that it is the flu and will take her to the doctor tomorrow morning, but right now she is saying that her eyes hurt, even while blinking. I have no idea why or what to do about it. Any suggestions?

She might be having common cold( flu). Its a viral infection in which child has cough, cold, running nose, fever, headache and conjunctivitis and eye discharge.
Hurting of eyes suggests she might be having conjunctivitis. She might even start rubbing her eyes very often and might cause red eyes. Its not a serious condition. Give her Tobramycin eye drops 1 drop each for both eyes 3 to 4 times a day. Also give her symptomatic treatment if form of a cough syrup like Sinarest, Syp crocin for fever and tablet levocetrizine for running nose. She should be alright in 2 to 4 days as a viral infection takes that long to subside.
