Suggest Treatment For Severe High Temperature And Headache
My 8 year old son has been unwell over the last 4 days with high temperatures and severe headaches. Yesterday, he started complainng that he couldn t walk and it has got steadily worse over the last 12 hours. The pain is behind his knees and down into his calves on both legs. He is feeling much better. Temps and headaches are reduced, but now the legs. Should I be concerned? christie
Understanding your concern. As per your query your son havesevere high temperature and headache along with body ache, legs pain this seems to be viral fever or flu. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
1) Take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache.
Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests a s well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
