thanks for asking question,
I gone through your question. your 9 year son is complaining of dizzy, legs pains, fever , vomiting in last 5 days.
If I would your treating pediatrician, i would diagnose it as viral illness. and viral illness are cured by body itself in 5-7 days time. i would prescribe medicine for fever and pain ,like paracetamol in dose of 15mg per kg per dose . maximum can be given four times in a day. and medicine for vomiting like ondensteron 2 mg mouth dissolve tablet . Give lots of fluid that will help for dizzyness.
if not improved in next 2 days then would investigate for cause
hope i able to answer your query
