What Causes Fever And Pain In Legs And Arms Of A Child?

My four year old has had a fever for two full days, threw up the first day but not since, and complains of pain in legs and arms, as well as pain in his eyes. I offer him fever reducer and Tylenol but have been unsuccessful in breaking his fever. I have an appointment at a doctor this afternoon but what can I do to help him now?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of fever and pain in legs and arms 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 take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache. Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. Avoid cold carbonated liquids. You should not take fried, hot and spicy food. Do warm saline gargles. 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
