Has your child sustained any injury in the leg? More like a prock by a thorn? Cause he is showing symptoms of a condition called cellulitis. Are there any swellings or skin color change in the legs?. Approach nearby hospital if symptom continues. The doctor may examine and suggest test for filariasis also. Meanwhile give syrup ibugesic. That may relieve pain and prevent further episodes of fever.
