What causes body and head pain while having high fever in a child?
Patient: hI THERE. IT IS 4 AM AND MY CHILD IS WITH HIGH FEVER AND CRYING. AND COMPLAINING OF PAIN ALL OVER THE HEAD AND IN THE BODY. ESPECIALLY INSIDE HIS ANKLES ON BOTH LEGS. dO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS COULD BE? IS IT WORTH THE RISK OF GOING OUT IN COLD AND AT NIGHT, TO TRY TO FIND A 24 HOUR PHARMACY THAT WHERE WE COULD GET SOME KIND OF PAIN RELEIVER.WHAT KIND OF PAIN RELEVER IS GOOD FOR A 4 YEARS OLD WHO WEIGHS 43.6 POUNDS? Doctor: Dear parent, I understand your concerns. to relieve fever and body aches you should give alternating acetaminophen and ibuprofen syrup every  4 hours . this means you give acetaminophen at one time then after 4 hours you give ibuprofen syrup and so on. the dose for your child will be 5 ml or one teaspoon. I hope I answered your question
