My son is having a constant headache, stomach pain, body ache, especially in his arms, bottom of his feet, legs, and neck, since last 10days. He has no fever, has good motion, no urination problem, and can eat everything. His doctor says he may be having stomach flu. She ordered all blood work, which was all normal and suggested hydrating him well. Over the counter pain medication, such as children;s Advil has not worked, nor has hot packs. I wanted to know how long it will last as it is not getting better since last 10 days and if there is something else we should be looking at, or should we just wait patiently for the flu to ride out its own course? Thank you,Anuradha kamath
Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.  Dear Ahumada Namath as all your sons tests are normal you should ask your doctor to evaluate for Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis and if that is also ruled out then it is probably not a physical problem. Child Chat Doctor.  It would be good idea to en-quire at school and meet his class teacher and classmates to get to the root of problem. Also shower him with love and affection and get him talking about his problems, he may trust you and tell you. Regards
