Hi, Thanks for writing in. Flu is a condition which is caused by the common cold virus. It might involve many organs and cause different symptoms depending on the strain of the virus. There is a strong possibility that your son might have the flu from his clinical features. Some patients might experience severe joint pains and this is like arthritis with fever. A close monitoring of the symptoms is required. He should get enough rest and healthy food. Please make him Chat Doctor.
