Could Leg Pain Be A Result Of Fever In A Child?
My 4 year old has had a fever on and off for the past 3 days. She is much brighter in herself today but is complaining that her legs hurt and sge cannot walk. We have tried lots of things to tempt her but she really is unable to bear her weight on her own. Is this pa of the virus or should we take her to the ER?

hi,
thanks for your question. muscle and joint pains are very common in children following a viral infection. an antiinflammatory medication can be of benefit. if your child is otherwise well and you see improvement in her symptoms with time then this is reassuring.
best wishes
