Hi,
Thanks for placing your query here.
I can appreciate your concerns.
The boy seems to be suffering from viral gastroenteritis.
Headache,tummy pain & legpains are most likely due to viral infection of the gut.
Can use paracetamol syp in appropriate doses for pains .
Also please make sure he is drinking enough ORS (oral rehydrationg solution).
If not better in 48 hrs or so ,please see a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wish him speedy recovery.

Hi dear,
Probably she is suffering from viral diarrhea & vomiting. It can result in dehydration and electrolyte imbalance which could cause leg pain. Keep giving her lots of fluids, tender coconut water, butter milk with salt, water, juices. Try anti emetics for vomiting. If vomiting keeps persisting and no fluids are tolerated then she needs to be shown to a pediatrician. Don't worry it may last for one or two days more. Just keep a watch on her hydration.
Take care. Don't worry she will be fine.
