But he looks sicker today than he has the hole time. She told us to give him ibuprofen but it seems to me I should monitor him for feaver tonight with out ibuprofen to be on the safe side am I wrong for this?
Myalgia is part of viral infection like flu and can be managed with paracetamol or Ibuprofen. Additional cold or warm treatment locally will give comfort. Also, give him plenty of liquid diet and rest.
