What causes pain in leg calf while having flu?
Patient: Hello. My 8 year old son had the flu this week, and this morning woke with pain in the calf area of his legs, more concentrated on one leg, but some pain in the other calf. Is there cause for concern, or could the pain be associated with growing pains and not necessarily connected with the flu? Doctor: Hello,If the calf area is swollen and red along with the pain, then you should take him to the hospital right away as it might be a deep vein thrombosis.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
