My 5 years old son is under medication for typhoid for past 7 days. He is on antibiotics which will last till the 14th day to complete the course. He is complaining about pain in the knee and the joint area of his hand and shoulder. What should we do.
Hello Since, you mentioned that your son is having typhoid fever for 7 days and prescribed antibiotics for another 7 days (total 14 days course). Now your son is complaining pain in various joints (knee, joints of hand and shoulder) . But don't take tension because after typhoid fever few patients develop other complications like malaise, ARTHRALGIAS (pain in various joints) , and many others. So, once typhoid fever cured, your son will get relief. Beside prescribed antibiotics also take some diclofenac tablet after consultation with your physician. But take a complete course of typhoid fever. Good luck.
