my 8 yr old son had a high fever for 4 days along with a sore throat, swollen lymph nodes and tonsils. He was seen at a Minute Clinic and was treated with Amoxil for a strep although the rapid test was negative. He has been fever free today so far but has a severe headache and leg pain. Where do we go from here?
Thanks for asking I have gone through your question, and understand your concern, your 8-year-old son have fever for 4 days, and he is free from fever today, sore throat., swollen lymph nodes and tonsils. He is having severe headache and leg pain today. He was treated with Mobil. His rapid test was negative. Most of the fever are caused by virus. Viral illness cured in 5-7days times. I think the cause of headache and leg pain is same viral illness that caused fever. You can give some painkiller like paracetamol 15 mg per kg per dose, up to 4 times per days and wait for 2 days. Hope i able to answer your query
