My 5 year old son has a fever of 103.3. Gave tyanol and it only brought it to 102.3 last night he had horrible leg pain and if you touched his legs he screamed. He s now saying his forehead hurts. He s also has been coughing too. Should I bring him to the ER. I m really worried
Hi....this seems to be a viral illness with myositis or inflammation of muscles. If your kid is normal in between fever episodes in a single day... I don't think you should worry as its only 3rd day of fever. Danger signs include breathlessness/ rash/ low urine output/ seizures/ unconsciousness/ blood in motion. Don't worry if these are not there & the kid is active. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome.
