Suggest Medication For Fever And Abdominal Pain
My almost 5yr old son had a fever of ranging from 103 - 104 this morning and when I felt his hand, it was kind of stiff. When I tried to straighten it, the hand would clench my hand back. Could this be a neurological problem that need to be addressed. A few months ago, when he was running a fever also, he passed out for a few minutes after complaining of stomach ache.

HI...this could be a viral fever associated myositis or inflammation of the muscles. I do not think this is a neurological problem. But I suggest you consult your pediatrician or nearest emergency room regarding this.
