Suggest Medication For Flu & Pain In Knee & Shin Area
My 3 yr old had the flu a few days ago. Now he is crying continuously complaining about his leg hurting. It is just in one area below the knee, beside the shin. He keeps saying he needs to go to the Doctor, so I know it is painful for him. Any ideas???

Hai... Viral infection is known to cause myositis or muscle cramps & pain. Give paracetamol for pain relief & if it still persists kindly see your pediatrician. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
