What Causes Stiffness And Pain In Legs In A Child Suffering From Chesty Cough?
My child has been suffering from a chesty cough for a week now. This morning he woke with painful legs and looks very stuff when we tries to walk. There is no discoloration, no bleeding, no signs of blood clots or signs of inflammation and his legs do not feel hot to touch. They do feel cool.
Would could this be?

Hi... I feel that your kid might be going through a viral illness which initially involved the lung and later on is spreading on to cause systemic manifestations. I feel that it would be better if he is examined by a physician or pediatrician. It could also be an infection due to an atypical organism like Chalmydia or Mycoplasma. he needs work up for this and antibiotics too.
