Q: constant virus ?

Hi wondering if anyone can help! advice be great and appreciated wave
Am really concerned about my 4yr old daughter as she has been poorly now for about 5-6 weeks, shes been suffering constant bouts of high temperature occuring a couple of times a day , sometimes only once other times more or/and sometimes during the night will wake wake up screaming saying she feels poorly, her best way of describing is saying that she has a poorly body? so am assuming aching all over and sometimes just screams that her leg hurts and is unable to walk, also not eating much,and has deffinatly become withdrawn in personality normally v bubbly and chatty,now will only talk to close familly members , though was even distant with her grandad on his last visit wich is rare for her, during this patch have been to the doctors 3 times,
1) was told ear infection,given anti biotics - failed
2) was told virus , given different anti biotic - failed
3) was told again still a virus but not explained wich, and just told it would rid itself is nothing can do???
Just seems to be going on to long now,sometimes also complains of headache and sensitivity to light,this is concerning me as read this morning that new signs in children of menningitis (excuse spelling) is leg pain? but if this was a possible cause could it have been going on like this for so long now? also if was a virus of some kind, wouldnt her twin brother or 6mnth old baby sister caught it by now also?
anyone any suggestions what could be or sounds like?
thank you

well if it was upto me hun id definitely seek a second opinion, poor little thing doesnt sound right at all, my 2year old also suffers constant re occuring colds not really the same as your daughter though but the stupid doctor just sends me home t give him calpol!! he has just got over a virus but withinn 2days of im contracting this he passed it to me, so id say if it was a virus it would be highly likely that her brother and sister could have gotten it by now, do you feel ok yourself??? i would seek a second opinion just to be on the safe side tho! as 4 meningitis i think with you saying she had this so long its unlikely to be this as meningitis acts so fast! hope this helps xxx
