What Causes Body Aches And Weakness Followed By Fever In A Child?
My son has been complaining of body aches and weakness for 2 days. It seems to be intermittent rather than constant. Today he was sent home from outdoor camp because the counsellors thought he was overheated. He has a 101 F fever after drinking cold water. I was wondering if it was more serious than heat exhaustion?

Hello,
It could be a simple viral fever. Continue paracetamol syrup. Nothing much to worry and in most of the cases, it will settle by itself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
