My 9 year old has a fever of 102, is complaining of extremely achy legs, arms, head, and says the skin on her back is tender and hurts. She says her tummy is upset, but does not want to eat crackers or anything. She says she is very cold, but her skin is quite hot.
Hi dear welcome to the Chat Doctor. Viral fever is the common cause for such high grade fever and symptoms especially in this rainy season. Tap water sponging repeatedly SOS. Plenty of water. Take care of the nutrition. Paracetamol @ 15 mg per kg 4 to 6 hourly should help in relieving the body ache and fever. If fever do not respond in 3 to 4 days then one investigate the child for any other infection, Hope the query is answered. Thanks
