Suggest Treatment For Fever And Sore Legs
My 5 year old was running a fever off and on for the 5 days. She has been on antibiotics. She seemed better yesterday but complained of her legs being sore. When she woke up this morning, she is unable to bear weight on her legs. She says her calves hurt too bad. Could this be from the virus or dehydration?

Hi!
Good evening! How are you?
From the problems listed in your question regarding the illness of your daughter it looks like she is having dehydration due to perspiration, etc. The muscle soreness is due to salt imbalance resulting from dehydration. Give her some juice containing potassium, lot of oral fluids will definitely improve her condition.
