[|Human|] My 9 year old daughter has recently had a diagnosis of mono, followed a week later by a diagnosis of strep and last week was diagnosed with the Flu. Today, she says her calves hurt so much she does not want anyone to touch them and I had to carry her into the drs office. My dr said that was just a complication of the flu. However, I called another dr friend of mine who said he had never heard of flu causing that much pain in the legs. I do not know what to do.
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. The condition your child is suffering is called myositis(sore muscles). It is really a complication of flu caused by influenza virus. Though it looked alarming and is a very painful condition, but this state is self limiting and will go away in a week or two.Meanwhile, keep your child as comfortable as possible by adequate bed rest fluid intake & painkillers like ibuprofen. Hope you find this answer satisfactory. Good luck.
