Hi!

Welcome to healthcaremagic. com.

I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern.

The signs could be those of henoch schonlein purpura.

The symptoms of :

Rash involving the legs

Abdominal pain

Joint pain in legs

could be because of this.

In addition, gastroenteritis is a common problem.

Analgesics, such as Acetaminophen may be given to him.

If there is further increase in signs and symptoms, I advise you to see a doctor.

Hope this helps!

You may revert back after 1 week or earlier if you have any other question.
Good luck!
