My son is 16 & has the following symptoms
Hello, his symptoms sound a lot like the flu. Despite that diagnosing anything from afar is impossible and a proper - in person - medical assessment is required. Influenza usually presents with temperatures higher than 37.8 degrees of Celsius and the body aches are typically very intense. Headache and sore throat are common. Sometimes the nose (rhinitis) is also involved, but these symptoms is not usually the most prominent one. Similar symptoms may occur with other infections like bacterial pneumonia for example. So in conclusion, your sons symptoms are probably due to the flu, but a visit to the doctor is recommended for confirmation. I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Kind Chat Doctor.
