Nothing to worry about
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mrs xxxxxxxx,
I do remember you and Mr Madhavan. I hope both of you are healthy and doing well.
As far as your son's health is concerned,if the fever has completely stopped,then there should be no worry as such.If it was dengue,then the fever would go on increasing and the symptoms will worsen.
Muscle and joint pain can occur due to weakness resulting from fever and can occur in normal people too.
Dark brown stools can occur due to the medicines that he has been taking.I hope he does not have blood in stools.
In my opinion,there is no need to hurry.Wait and watch,let him drink plenty of water and fruit juices.Adequate rest is important.Give paracetamol as and when required.
To be on safer side,you can just get his blood checked for complete blood count,peripheral smear for malarial parasites,platelet count.
Let me know if i can help you more.
Thank you.
Best wishes
