Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of body ache, fever and fatigue which seems to be viral fever or flu which seems to be due to poor and compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
1) Take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache.
2) Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest.
3) Avoid cold carbonated liquids. You should not take fried, hot and spicy food.
4) Do warm saline gargles.
5) Take analgesic such as Flexon and take light diet.
Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit paediatrician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests as well. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
