Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

All the history of headache, stomachache and fever on and off , you provided for your son look to be due to flu- viral fever.
I would advise him the following:
Strict bed rest for early recovery.
He can be kept on plain paracetamol 3 to 4 times a day in the dosages as per his body weight.
Take Ranitidine along with the medicines.

If there is no response or if the problem increases with any additional symptoms, please consult your Physician and get him investigated and treated accordingly.
