My 6 year old son has been sick with the flu off and on for a few months with daily headaches as well. He has a fever off and on as well. I have been switching with Motrin and Tylenol. He also couldn t walk for 4 days he was crawling around and would walk around on his tippy toes but would fall. He couldn t walk flat on his feet he complained of pain and when I tried to make him stand he just fell. I took him to the walk-in clinic on a wednesday and the doc said if he wasn t walking by friday to take him to the ER or back to the walk-in. So friday comes and he still couldnt walk so i took him in and they did blood tests xrays and a urine test...She said his liver was a little low on the count or something and his white blood cell count was a little low but due to him having the flu that could be why too so I guess I just want a second opinion on what you may think could be goin on....Thanks
Probably your child is suffering from viral infection which is causing fever, cough, cold and joint pain. Give paracetamol and ibuprofen for fever, OTC anti cough and cold syrups. If no relief within 3-5 days you will need to consult pediatrician for further evaluation. For further queries regarding this disease or its medications you may consult me at Chat Doctor under section \"Ask Expert\" >>>\"Ask Pediatrician\".
