[|Human|] My son is 7 yrs old he was suffering from cold and fever from last 4 days so I gave him crocin and clamp and montek lc kid.now he doesnt have fever from last 2 days but today he is complaining of pain in both his legs in his calf when he walks and it I quite painfull now what is the reason?
[|AI|]  Hi... Pain in the legs could be due to inflammation of the calf muscles due to viral illness and fever. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics (Clamp) at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards -
