A temperature of 99 is normal according to diurnal temperature variation..... Nausea , body pain and weakness can be from many reasons
Could be flu or UTI or gastritis ( if outside food was taken) etc etc....
If it's flu, she wouldn't need antibiotics. But if it's UTI then considering her age, she would require antibiotics.
As you have already started all the medication, please do continue medication as advised.

Your mother's symptoms are very typical of an acute viral infection such as the flu, though a bacterial infection cannot be completely ruled out without further evaluation. While viral illnesses like influenza often cause low-grade fever, nausea, body aches, and fatigue, her physician prescribed Moxclav 625 (an antibiotic) likely based on a suspicion of a bacterial cause (such as a chest or urinary tract infection) or to prevent secondary bacterial complications.
Key Suggestions & Next Steps
Hydration: Ensure she drinks plenty of fluids (oral rehydration solutions, warm soups, or water) in small, frequent sips to prevent dehydration, which can worsen weakness in older adults.
Medication Adherence: Continue the medications exactly as prescribed by her physician, especially taking the full course of the antibiotic unless advised otherwise by her doctor.
Monitor for Warning Signs: Seek immediate emergency medical care if she develops any of the following:
Shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or rapid breathing
Extreme lethargy, confusion, or difficulty waking up
Persistent vomiting or inability to keep fluids down
Dizziness, fainting, or sudden weakness when trying to stand
Follow-up: If her fever persists beyond 48 hours or if her weakness worsens, contact her doctor for a follow-up visit. They may recommend basic blood work (like a CBC) or a urine check to pinpoint the cause.
