What Causes Pain In Arms And Legs After Fever?
My daughter had a fever of 101 and a headache and chills on Monday and thru Tuesday. Wednesday she was better and went back to school but her legs were achy. She got small red dots on her legs Thursday night after her bath. This morning she woke up feeling fine but legs still very achy and the red dots have spread from her legs up her whole body to her chest and neck and her lip is slightly swollen. The rash has become about a 5 on the itchy scale. No fever, no other symptoms besides the achy legs and arms? Advice? I think it might be 5th Disease?

HI...I think she is going through a viral illness and it could even be viral haemorrhagic fever like Dengue too. I suggest you take to the nearest emergency room immediately. If her urine output is reduced, it is a tell-tale sign that she is going into shock. Itching is a sign of dengue again.
