What Causes Pain In Muscle And Joint Along With Headaches?

On a recent trip to Chicago, started feeling joint pain, cold, shaking, muscles felt very sore. Wrapped up in blankets and woke up sweating but feeling better. Muscle and joint pain continued. Headache. Now my right leg is red, sore to touch (nothing else is now). It appeared to be moving around and changing positions. My daughter met us there and had the same thing happen to her. My wife and my daughter were together all day while I attended a training conference and my wife is fine.

Hi,

As you told, you are having chills, rigor, headache, arthralgias, and body ache. Most probably this is viral fever(which your daughter also is having), and need not be worried much. You take paracetamol 3 times a day after food, along with bed rest, plenty of oral fluids and a soft diet. You will be alright in 3-4 days. The same thing can be advised to your daughter also.

If symptoms doesn't subside by then kindly see your doctor for further evaluation, and in that case, you might be asked for a blood routine examination.

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

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