Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Flu is a condition which is caused by the common cold virus. It might involve many organs and cause different symptoms depending on the strain of the virus. There is a strong possibility that your son might have the flu from his clinical features. Some of the patients might experience severe joint pains and this is like arthritis with fever.
A close monitoring of the symptoms is required. He should get enough rest and healthy food. Please make him drink adequate amounts of water to avoid dehydration. A back pain along the sides and nausea might also be associated with kidney stone and rarely people might have the pain even after the stone is passed out. Please do not worry.
