What Causes Dizziness, Headaches, Leg Pain And Loss Of Appetite?

I am concerned about my six year old son. He rarely get sick and when he does he is not a big complainer. However this time around now on day two he is still dizzy with headaches, can not get out of bed with out him complaining about his legs hurting. Will not eat anything, but is drinking lots of fluids. Should I be concerned?

Hi,

Is he having fever also? An acute onset fever, headache and leg pain usually suggest a viral fever. All that is needed most of the times is bed rest, paracetamol, a soft diet and plenty of fluids for few 3-5 days. Give calorie rich drinks like ORS, rice water or fruit juices in frequent sips.

If symptoms are not getting down in 2-3 days, he is not at all taking orally and feels dizzy even after adequate fluid intake, kindly take him to doctor as we will have to rule out conditions like dengue fever in this situation.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
