What Causes Headache, Low Grade Fever, Body Pain And Joint Pain?
My daughter has a headache, neck pain in the back, lower back pain and joint pain, chills, low grade fever, body aches. Should I bring her to ER or after care to be seen or wait and see how it goes? She had these same symptoms on Saturday and they went away and now are back.
Hi..Can understand your concern...As per your query about low grade fever ,body and neck pain ,chills ,joints pain etc..in your daughter is suggestive of common viral fever ..It may have caused due to change in whether and usually children's are more prone to infection...you need not to worry and give her analgesic like paracetamol 10-15 mg/kg body wt.three times a day.Give more hot liquids like soup,daal etc and warm water to drink.Avoid cold drinks and ice creams. Usually it will subside in 4-5 days of its own....watch for any other symptoms of bacterial infection or high grade fever or the symptoms persist you should consult a physician.I hope the information helps you.Take care.
