What Causes Fever And Body Pain?
Hi my daughter is 5 and she caught fever complaining of whole body aching. I gave her calpol 5ml however there was no relief except that she got rid of laziness/ non act ice to active state. Then i gave her bacigyl n 5ml and her fever was gone. I repeated the bacigyl and calpol dose in 8 hours. Any suggestion?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of fever and body pain. The symptoms you mention in query are pointing toward a condition like viral infection which is due to poor immunity of body , which is making child susceptible to infections . Well this goes away in few days by its own. But if it is getting worse then consult pediatrician for proper checkup. Doctor may order blood test , viral culture test and throat swab test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes like scarlet fever or strep throat as you mention in query. Doctor may prescribe anti viral drug , decongestants and mucolytic agent. For now do tepid sponging and take diet rich in liquids. Avoid outside food intake.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
