Hello,
Burps with bad odor could be due to indigestion. Itchy eyes, sore throat, weakness and tiredness could be due to common cold or flu. I suggest you to give an anti-pyrectic paracetamol syrup to the child 4 or 6 hours along with rest. If the symptoms do not disappear within 1-2 days, you need to consult your pediatrician.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
