The dose of 2000 vit C was rather high for a child, although with such a high fever and not wanting any damage done due to the fever I understand why you gave such a high dose. If using homeopathic remedies usually high does of vitamins are not needed. Small frequent doses are better. Shocking the body with high doses of vitamins can stress the body more. Gentle healing is the way to go.
Children loose calcium in high fevers too. In the future always use a calcium supplemant along with Vit C. The calcium will also prevents the diaherria. The sore stomach may be due to the acid of the Vit C and possible aggravated by the the antiboitic.
Ester C is a good choice in Vit C because it is combined with the calcium, or calcium ascorbate if available is cheaper and also good.
I have found that often Aconite is a good remedy when fever starts suddenly with flushed face and lack of persiration.
If it was anxiety then the Gel might have worked better as stated.
