Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of constant leg pain , Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons, it seems like viral infection in your case such as viral pharyngitis. Leg pain is due to generalized weakness in body. I would suggest you to stay hydrated with lots of fluid. You should avoid food like nuts and sea food and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Consult pediatrician once for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test , stool test and take history . Doctor may prescribe muscle realxant , antibiotics and anti pyretic . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist or ENT specialist if the problem will be related with gastric or ear .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
