Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache And Leg Pain After Fever

my 8 yr old son had a high fever for 4 days along with a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes and tonsils. He was seen at a Minute Clinic and was treated with Amoxil for a strep although the rapid test was negative. He has been fever free today so far but has a severe headache and leg pain. Where do we go from here?

thanks for asking
i gone through your question ,and understand your concern,
your 8 year old son have fever for 4 days and he is free from fever today, sore throat.,swollen lymph nodes and tonsils. he is having severe headache and leg pain today.he was treated with amoxil. his rapid test was negative.
most of the fever are caused by virus. viral illness cured in 5-7days times.
I think the cause of head ache and leg pain is same viral illness that caused fever.
you can give some pain killer like paracetamol 15 mg per kg per dose , up to 4 times per days and wait for 2 days .
hope i able to answer your query
