What Causes Specific Chillness Around The Body In A Child?

My8 yr old son lately has complained about cold spots in his body, back of ankle, left elbow, shoulder and tonight a rib, it is always a small specific spot and says it feels like an ice cube on his bone. Says it feels inside his body, not on the skin, it is not cold to the touch. Also it is random times active and inactive and lasts a half hour to an hour

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your son have symptoms of chillness around the body which seems to be viral fever or flu. It occurs due to poor and compromised immunity of body and increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests such as W.B.C count as well as increased count will indicate infection in body. Take analgesic such as Flexon and take light diet. You should take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
