How Long Do Leg Aches Due To H1N2 Last In Children?

My daughter tested positive for h1n1 flu and has been sick for many days. She is now complaining of severe leg aches in her calves. They hurt badly enough that she doesn t want to walk. How long will this last (it has been 2 days now) and is there anything to do besides giving her children s ibuprofen?

Hi.... usually myalgia due to any viral illness like this may last for a week or 3. You can give Ibuprofen in the appropriate dose. Keep her well hydrated, it will help reduce pain faster.
