Is It Harmful On Pain In Legs With Fever In Child?

hello,
my two yr old son came down with a fever around 102 last night. be began vominting throughout the night. he seems a bit improved this morning but he is still pretty sick. he has been napping on and off and will wake up complaining of pain in his legs. his fever is currently a low grade fever. My main concern is about the continued pain in his legs that is waking him up? should i be concerned. we will be taking him to a DR tomorrow but i need to know whether i should take him over the weekend.

hi,

muscle and joint pain is common in viral illnesses in children. it should improve as the virus improves. Advil is an anti fever and antiinflammatory drug that should help your child's symptoms. if they do persist or he becomes increasingly unwell seek medical attention.

best wishes
