Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your 8 year old son who has stomach ache, headache on Saturday, developed fever after half an hour, mild congestion with inflamed tonsils, had stiff neck initially as well as leg pains, given Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. No relief.
It is possible that he has bacterial infection and may need an antibiotic too along with decongestants.
Revisit the Pediatrician and get blood tests or Malaria and any other diseases of childhood prevalent in your area.
