Suggest Treatment For High Fever And Sore Muscles Of A 9 Year Old
My son, (9yrs old) has been running a high temp around 103. His only complaint is soreness in his groin area. He says, It feels like his muscles are sore from running. He's on a motrin schedule 2 tsps every 5 hours. This breaks the fever but only for a few hours. What are your recommendations?
Hi, It seems that your son might be having viral fever giving rise generalized body-ache and malaise giving this problem. Continue giving Motrin as needed for fever and muscle pain. give him plenty of water. If there is no relief within 2-3 days, consult your doctor to rule out any bacterial infection. Ok and take care.
