What Causes Leg Pain And Headache In A Child?
hi, my son ( age 6) is , again, complaining of leg pain and headache, with a bit of belly pain. He had a bout of diareah earlier too. The pain in his head is in the back , not the top of his forehead. he has been getting lots of headaches lately too. Any advice as to what may be causing this please? He had strep a couple weeks ago, but did get over that. Thank you ....

Hello. I just read through your question.
Leg pain is typical with mild viruses and are usually not a concern. The most common cause of headaches in children is mild dehydration. Make sure he is taking plenty of fluids. If the symptoms persist worsen, contact your doctor.
