Suggest Remedy For Soreness All Over Body And Slight Headache

Hi My 15 year old son is sick at the moment - thought it may be just a flu. Was sore to touch any part of his body, has had slight headache and has a pin prick rash over his tummy and up under his arms. It is not on his back though? Should this be of any concern?

Hello dear,
I understand your concerns.Is your son having fever?If yes,then he is likely to have a viral infection,as it is most common cause of the syndrome-fever,papular rash(may be pin like),diffuse body pains along with headache.If no fever,it may be a severe allergic reaction ,may be to some drugs.Your physician will be able to help in this regard as there is a long list of causes of diffuse body rash,he will examine him and form an opinion. A dermatologist's opinion will be of value to see the pattern of rash and thus helping in diagnosing.I hope it helps.
