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?
