Each of us is afraid of pain, but it is much worse for parents if something hurts our children. You can give anything so that the pain ends quickly, and everything goes away like a bad dream.
Quite often the child has a stomach ache and fever. Pain can signal serious problems in the child’s body that require prompt hospitalization. Of course, experienced doctors should diagnose and treat, but every mother should know a little about childhood illnesses so as not to panic and cope with unpleasant but simple problems on her own. Today we will list diseases that can cause pain in children, and we will tell you what to do if a child complains of pain.
If the baby complains of abdominal pain, then under no circumstances should you give painkillers and laxatives without a doctor’s recommendation. Any attempt to eliminate pain will lead to the fact that even an experienced doctor will find it difficult to establish the correct diagnosis.
If a child has a stomach ache and fever, and a little later diarrhea and vomiting appear, it is difficult for him to stand or simply straighten up, and you see an admixture of blood in the stool, then you should urgently call an ambulance.
In general, abdominal pain accompanies many childhood illnesses. If a child constantly complains of abdominal pain, then, most likely, the help of a urologist, infectious disease specialist, pediatric gynecologist or qualified gastroenterologist may be required, and a referral to a doctor can be taken from a pediatrician.
Pain in the center of the abdomen indicates problems with the small or large intestine. If the temperature rises slightly, then chemical poisoning may have occurred. Pain in the left hypochondrium indicates a disruption of the pancreas.
If a child has a stomach ache and the temperature rises very quickly, appendicitis or problems with the urinary system may be suspected. With nephritis (kidney disease), touching the sides causes sharp pain. It is necessary to give complete rest to the child and call for medical help.
Peritonitis is another disease with the same symptoms that requires urgent treatment, because it directly affects the digestive system. And if pain is felt in the upper left, then most likely it is gastritis or inflammation of the digestive tract.
If a child complains of pain in the leg and has a fever, this may be a sign of a dangerous childhood disease - hematogenous osteomyelitis. This purulent disease can lead to disability or even death.
If at any age a child has pain in his legs and fever, it is better to immediately contact a pediatric surgeon so as not to delay treatment. Frequent pain in the legs may indicate various infections - chronic tonsillitis, caries or adenoiditis. In addition, it is necessary to exclude endocrine disorders and contact a phthisiatrician. The development of most blood diseases begins with painful sensations in the legs.
If after a walk a child complains of a headache and abdominal pain, then first you need to measure his temperature.
If a child has a headache and the temperature rises above 39 degrees, then you need to call a doctor - complications of a cold can be dangerous. You can give children an antipyretic drug, but pediatricians generally do not advise lowering the temperature below 38 degrees. It is necessary to put the baby in bed, give him water more often, but do not wrap him up tightly, since overheating will only prevent the body from fighting the disease.
If a small rash appears with a headache and fever, you should immediately call an ambulance, since such symptoms are characteristic of meningitis.
The flu can cause headaches and stomach pain, and this disease is dangerous due to its complications.
If a child has a headache and fever, the following procedures can be performed to alleviate the condition before the doctor arrives:
A sore throat is not a disease, but a symptom, so if a child has a sore throat, then we need to look for the cause and then begin treatment.
Most often, a sore throat is caused by viruses, less often by bacteria or other factors. We list the diseases that are accompanied by sore throat and fever:
We must not forget that parents can assume a diagnosis, and only an experienced doctor can establish it and prescribe adequate treatment. Therefore, you should not neglect the disease, but it is better to contact a specialist at an early stage.

At night my daughter vomited severely, three times, and had diarrhea.:001:
The temperature fluctuates every half hour, from 38 to 36.5.
She didn't seem to eat anything suspicious.
Girls, you don’t know how to distinguish rotavirus from poisoning?
I just have another little one. So I’m thinking about how to protect her.
Or useless. If rotavirus, will we all get sick?
Can anyone tell me what?:005:
We have been sick with rotavirus four times already. I still don’t know how to distinguish it from poisoning :) But if the child is a kindergartener, then most likely it’s him :)
Smecta + rehydron + diet. As a rule, snot comes out in the field of rotovirus, because... it's a virus.
Of the minuses: it’s difficult to protect the youngest 🙁 But out of the four times that my daughter was sick, I only got sick twice. Husband only once. Advice: Give small smecta, as a preventative measure (9 doses less than for illness). How old is the youngest? If he does get infected, he will survive it more easily, because... Smecta is an absorbent and will suck out all the dirty stuff.
It looks like there is an epidemic, we are also sick now. Get better.
The first time I encountered it, I thought it was poisoning, but the doctor said it was most likely a virus. So I can’t tell you how to tell the difference either.
Thanks girls. I’m also worried... Well, what kind of infection is going around?
My youngest is 2 and 6. older 5 and 8.
The eldest was at the aikido section yesterday, maybe she picked up something at the recreation center.
I sing with smecta. The child lies there, pale as a shadow.
It would be better if I got sick a hundred times myself. 005:
Our rotavirus began with severe abdominal pain, then repeated vomiting, then a temperature up to 39.5:001:
the child could not eat or drink anything, everything came back out.
were treated with smecta, bifiform, fractional drinking.
When we started eating a little, I gave Creon.
The first time I got sick in the hospital, everyone got infected - my mother-in-law, me, then my husband.
the second time we were sick at home, no one got infected, I washed my hands constantly after every contact with the child.
There's an epidemic right now, it looks like! As soon as everyone fell ill with this rotavirus, the garden is in quarantine again!
With rotavirus, our throat was still red, the children had headaches and legs.
In general, it would be better to immediately take tests at the SES and register this case, impose a quarantine on the group in the kindergarten. But neither kindergartens nor doctors like quarantines, so the infection is spreading, damn it. kughniq38ochy7grvyetbn6kuj.
Yes, yesterday our throat was already very red, our arms and legs were aching because... intoxication of the body is constantly ongoing:(. Our doctors on VHI call the SES without fail and until the test results are received, the group is quarantined
Or is the incubation period simply longer? The incubation period is 10-14 days. My parents were forbidden to visit my second grandson for 2 weeks; they said that they might not be sick, but they could be carriers :)
Oh yeah. What an infection. I don’t remember that we were sick with this in childhood.
My child, exhausted, fell asleep.
They were sick, but they used to call it the stomach flu. For example, I was sick at a sports camp when I was 13 years old, I thought I was going to die, my temperature was over 40.
The child has a temperature of 39.5. I'm trying to knock it down.
I feel bad myself too.
We have the same temperature :( We were prescribed the following treatment regimen:
Linex 1 capsule 3 times a day
Arbidol 50 mg, 1 tablet 4 times a day
Ersefuril (suspension) 5ml 3 times a day
Lower the temperature with anything from the ibuprofen series (Nurofen, Nise), but be sure to lower it because convulsions may begin, the body is greatly weakened.
Well, they always offer us a hospital, I have refused for now, but if tomorrow the day after tomorrow it doesn’t get better, I’ll probably agree.
Moreover: a dairy-free diet is mandatory, drink up to 1.5 liters per day in fractions (we give degassed mineral water because rehydron cannot drink), we also need to restore the glucose level, so we will drink dried fruit compote (apples, pears, raisins) + fructose instead of sugar. If the vomiting is no longer so bad, it’s good to give jelly, for example blueberry.
When he can eat food, we were prescribed Creon with every meal for the first few days.
enterofuril, temperature relief, arbidol.
Our group was quarantined. A nurse came in the morning and took tests. I'll wait for the results. Mine is feeling good today, she’s even eating.
By the way, I don’t feel well either. The joints ache, the temperature is 37 and the lymph nodes are inflamed, it hurts to touch. Is it possible that the infection has spread to me?
Yes, it looks like you are getting sick. and me too. Temperature, everything hurts.:005:
Another question: are gastrointestinal infections and rotavirus the same thing?
http://www.rmj.ru/articles_4392.htm I found an article.
We were in the hospital 2 times and managed it ourselves 2 times. In such cases, the hospital prescribed antibiotics. We didn’t eat anything, we were severely dehydrated, we were on IVs day and night. As soon as the temperature subsided and the child began to eat, we went home. In the hospital, you can relieve an acute condition, and then there is nothing to do there. And the antibiotics they prescribe are very serious. But the doctors couldn’t really make a diagnosis. Everyone refers to the rotovirus (maybe this is more convenient than getting to the bottom of the true cause). And at home also - smecta, rehydron, fractional drinking. diet and Creon is also not superfluous. In general, rotovirus is an infection that affects the gastrointestinal tract, and gastroenteritis is directly E. coli.:0099:
Call a doctor instead of experimenting on children using the Internet. They'll advise you right now.
Haha. Doctors sometimes make mistakes too. Two doctors couldn’t tell us apart from rotovirus from poisoning: wife: I tell them that we have rotovirus, but they mean poisoning, and even offer hospitalization: 065: But I know for sure that I couldn’t have been poisoned (it was during the holidays, we didn’t eat anywhere except at home). Five days after I put him on his feet, she fell ill herself.:005:
A person may experience pain in the abdomen and head at the same time, and the body temperature rises. You should immediately contact your doctor; such symptoms may indicate a serious illness that requires immediate treatment.
Most often, before the stomach begins to hurt, pain appears in the head area, but if the discomfort is provoked by a virus, severe pain in the abdominal area may first appear, followed by headaches due to intoxication of the body.
This condition is especially typical for diseases caused by a virus or infection - intestinal flu. Both infants and elderly people can get it. It is especially common in young children who like to put everything in their mouth.
The virus can enter the human body due to contaminated food; it affects the stomach, intestines, and is excreted only with feces. At the same time, the person becomes weaker, his vision becomes darker, severe headaches appear, then shooting pains in the abdominal area. There is a high temperature and vomiting.
With rotavirus, the eyes become very red, the throat area and pharynx become inflamed. It can last differently, for some it goes away in two days, for others it lasts up to 5 days, a person can fully recover only after a week.
Unpleasant sensations can be triggered by food and medications. Most often, a person can be poisoned by foods that are infected - meat, canned food, dairy products, mayonnaise. When Salmonella bacteria enters the body. This happens because a person stores food incorrectly, consumes it expired, and does not pay attention to the fact that it contains a large amount of toxic substances.
In case of poisoning, severe pain in the abdominal area begins to bother, it is sharp, intense, reminiscent of contractions, then a headache appears, the person weakens, he becomes ill, there are spots in front of his eyes, severe nausea, the stomach is irritated. It all ends with vomiting and diarrhea. Often, when poisoning occurs, you experience high body temperature, chills, and want to drink heavily because the body is dehydrated.
In this situation, you urgently need to do a gastric lavage so that vomiting occurs, then drink as much water as possible, no less than two liters, it is recommended to use potassium permanganate, it should not be concentrated. Afterwards, the sorbent must be taken.
A person who has been poisoned should drink liquid in small sips - Gidrovit, Regidron, because when vomiting, not only a large amount of liquid is removed from the body, but also electrolytes. In this situation, you will have to adhere to a diet for several days. If you do not feel better, you should definitely call emergency help.
In addition to the fact that salmonella becomes the culprit of poisoning, intoxication of the body appears due to bacterial toxins, which are provoked by a toxic food infection, leading to it - clostridia, staphylococcus.
During infection, abdominal pain is localized in the pit of the stomach, severe nausea and vomiting, blood pressure drops significantly, hands and feet become cold, dizziness, and dark vision.
A person can recover only after a day; some people still have weakness for a long time. The disease is difficult to tolerate if a person is poisoned by toxic clostridia. First, severe pain appears in the abdomen, it is localized in the navel, then it becomes dark before the eyes, and profuse vomiting appears. A person has frequent stools, with a liquid consistency, and suffers from dehydration.
When a person is poisoned by food products that contain a large amount of toxins caused by botulism - meat, fish, mushrooms, vegetables, canned food, in addition to pain in the abdominal area, severe vomiting is disturbing, the stool becomes liquid, then the muscles weaken, vision decreases, the eyelids droop, the person has a hard time swallow food.
In this situation, it is important to take action in time, because death can occur due to botulism due to the fact that the respiratory system is paralyzed.
Symptoms appear when a person hits their head and may indicate a traumatic brain injury. When, in addition to a headache, nausea and a high temperature of 38.5 degrees are bothersome, this may indicate that the person has a serious nervous disease, brain cancer, while the pain is constant and may increase in the morning.
Particularly dangerous are the pains caused by meningitis, when the body temperature rises high, vomiting appears, the patient feels very bad, he cannot straighten his legs and bend over.
Often pain in the stomach and head is caused by arterial hypertension; this often happens if a person has experienced stress.
Due to the fact that a woman’s blood composition changes dramatically, it accumulates in large quantities in the pelvis, legs, and the brain does not have enough of it. In this situation, you need to lie horizontally or on your side. When carrying a child, it is important to monitor your diet and drink as much purified water as possible. If after rest a woman does not feel relief, her stool is very liquid, she should consult her doctor.
These symptoms may be precursors to menstruation or appear during menstruation. Also, due to a nervous disorder, apathy, when a woman is constantly worried about something, her appetite increases and she begins to eat everything. In this situation, you need to be able to relax in order to get rid of stress, pay attention to yoga and fitness classes.
So, headaches and stomach pain can occur for various reasons; you need to undergo an effective and reliable course of treatment in a timely manner; in severe situations, surgery is required.

Allergy to Mantoux - further.
List of children's cough syrups When next.
Flu has become familiar to us. Few people realize that this is a serious disease, and its complications are varied in their manifestations. And when the high temperature has already passed and, it would seem, the worst is over, new symptoms appear. For example, a child may begin to complain of leg pain.
During illness, leukocytes begin to actively fight pathogenic flora and be destroyed. This causes a sharp rise in temperature. Dead cells settle in large numbers in the joints and lymph nodes, preventing normal blood circulation. At the same time, the nutrition of body tissues deteriorates, which increases the load on the body. If antibiotics are used for treatment, the situation gets even worse. As a result, the child complains that his knees or calf muscles hurt.
After fever, leg pain may go away within a few days without special treatment. But to rule out serious diseases, you need to be examined by a pediatrician. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe additional tests and refer you to specialists.
Poisoning occurs. Not only substances of viral origin have a negative effect, but also destroyed cells of the body.
The disease disrupts metabolic processes in the muscles, which leads to the accumulation of ammonia and lactic acid. These breakdown products have a stimulating effect on nerve receptors, resulting in pain in the child’s calves. In addition, muscle fibers are damaged and the mobility of the lower extremities is impaired.
Additional symptoms observed:
When there is a combination of leg pain and fever, to alleviate the condition, doctors recommend:
After 7 days the condition should return to normal. If there is no improvement, an additional medical examination is necessary.
A severely suffered ARVI leaves its traces, because the body is very weakened. Asthenia literally translates as impotence. At the same time, the child’s joints hurt and muscles ache, including those on the legs. In addition, the following symptoms are observed.
The development of these signs is provoked by intoxication, dehydration, vitamin deficiency, side effects of medications, and decreased immunity.
When caring for children after illness, to help them recover faster, doctors recommend adjusting their diet and daily routine:
Additionally, the doctor may prescribe a mineral-vitamin complex.
This is inflammation of the muscles as a result of viral infections. If the legs hurt on the back of the knee and a little lower, then most likely the child has this particular disease. Additional distinctive features.
Symptoms of myositis appear during acute respiratory viral infection or a few days after recovery.
To clarify the diagnosis, the doctor writes out a referral for a blood test and x-ray. Then ointments are prescribed to relieve muscle spasms and improve blood circulation. For severe inflammation and pain, Ibuprofen is indicated orally.
The virus cannot have a negative effect on the joint, since it lacks the necessary enzymes. But how then is it that arthritis is a common complication after the flu or sore throat? This is an autoimmune disease, that is, its development is provoked by immune cells, the activity of which increases with temperature.
Factors that increase the risk of developing pathology.
The disease develops gradually, most often affecting symmetrical large joints, such as the knees. But your toes can also be affected. Symptoms include:
If treatment is not started, complete destruction of the joint is possible.
Symptoms appear about a week after the end of the illness. To confirm the diagnosis, the doctor writes out a referral for an x-ray, a blood test (general and biochemical), and an MRI. Based on their results, treatment is prescribed to reduce inflammation and restore joint function.
As a rule, antiviral, painkillers, NSAIDs, physiotherapy, massage are used; in some cases antibiotics.
But sometimes other diseases can develop, which are also accompanied by high fever.
These diseases develop as complications quite rarely. But if leg pain appears after (or during) a high temperature, it is necessary to show the child to a doctor to rule it out.
Does your child's legs hurt after a high fever? It is necessary to urgently contact a pediatrician. But if for some reason it is not possible to visit a doctor, then the following measures need to be taken:
What to do if you are sure that the causes of poor health are intoxication? You can invite your son to move on his knees. This will improve blood circulation and speed up recovery.
If a child’s legs hurt after a fever, the use of alternative medicine methods can significantly alleviate the condition. But keep in mind that you can warm the joint and muscles only if there is no swelling.
What to do if the skin becomes hot and swelling appears? Use cabbage. Crush or lightly beat a fresh leaf so that the juice begins to stand out, and apply to the painful area. Wrap the top warmly. After 6 hours, replace the compress. If the muscles ache, the sheet is additionally sprinkled with soda or rubbed with laundry soap.
Honey has a positive effect on the body not only from the inside, but also from the outside:
If you have any doubts and don’t know which recipe to use, consult your pediatrician. He will suggest the optimal method and warn if there are contraindications.
If treatment is started in a timely manner, the result will be obvious after just a few procedures. But in advanced cases, folk remedies cannot replace traditional medicine.
Many mothers of preschoolers complain at the reception that the child’s legs hurt, and most often these turn out to be ordinary, non-dangerous growing pains. However, not always pain in a child’s legs does not pose any threat to his health; they can indicate an acute, dangerous pathology, and orthopedic diseases, including those that can subsequently cause the child’s disability.
Pain in the legs of children can appear at any age, both in babies who have just begun to walk, and in teenagers. In this article, let's look at why children's legs hurt and what needs to be done in certain situations.
In the best traditions of our site, let’s start with the most dangerous ones.
Pain in the leg and temperature, perhaps it is osteomyelitis?
If the temperature has risen, the child’s leg hurts so much that he does not even allow him to look at it, protects him from any movement, and at the same time pain and fever appeared almost simultaneously, this may be a symptom of one of the most dangerous childhood diseases.
Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children can develop in any bone, including the bones of the lower extremities. This is a purulent disease that is extremely dangerous for a child and can lead to death or disability. It refers to the so-called urgent (urgent) pathology, requiring immediate medical intervention. In pediatric surgery, there is an expression “golden 48 hours of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis”, this is the time from the onset of the disease during which treatment should be started.
Osteomyelitis can affect children of any age, from newborns to teenagers. However, in children under 2-3 years of age it develops in a special way.
As a rule, sick children or their parents do not clearly remember some minor injury on the eve of illness, which creates certain diagnostic difficulties for the doctor. Osteomyelitis begins with pain in the limb, chills, fever, the pain can be so severe that the baby cannot step on the leg at all. At the beginning of the disease, there may be no changes in the sore spot, and this alone is enough to seriously doubt whether it is an injury.
If your child has a leg pain and fever at any age, contact a pediatric surgeon without delaying for an hour. Contacting a pediatrician, for example, or familiar doctors will lead to loss of time, confusion in diagnoses, and as a result - more severe consequences, significant bone destruction, and possibly disability.
Osteomyelitis in newborns deserves special attention; it is generally difficult to diagnose.
Does the child often have pain in his legs, does he complain of either a hip or a knee, the pain intensifies in the evening and after a long walk, and this continues for several weeks or even months? The pain and complaints are not very pronounced, and do you think that he is deceiving you? Listen to your child and contact an orthopedist as soon as possible!
Perthes disease, avascular necrosis of the head of the femur, without treatment almost always leads to such changes in the hip joint that it requires surgery, and in any case the diagnosis means disability for several years (or for life if you ignore these minor complaints) .
Boys are more likely to suffer from Perthes disease; the most common age group is 4–10 years. The essence of the disease is a violation of blood circulation in the head of the femur, which forms the hip joint, and its deformation under load. With proper treatment, started on time, the femoral head can fully recover without any consequences at all; all you need to do is pay attention to the child’s complaints and visit the doctor in a timely manner, without delaying time.
Leg pain in children can also occur due to other diseases that are less dangerous, but still require attention. If your calves hurt, this may be a manifestation of flat feet or deformities of the lower extremities. With transverse flatfoot, which is more common in girls, the child’s feet and first toes hurt. Legs may hurt due to diseases such as Osgood-Schlatter disease, cysts and bone tumors, and much, much more.
And the most common cause of leg pain in childhood...is still unknown. These are the so-called growing pains. They most often occur between the ages of 3 and 7 years, but they can appear earlier or later, and bother mainly at night. Your baby may ask to have their feet rubbed, and the massage helps and they may fall back to sleep.
Growing pains are disturbing for several months or even years; they are trying to explain them by the lag in the growth of muscle tissue from the growth of bones, and are considered not dangerous. But in any case, if your child’s legs hurt at night, consulting a doctor is necessary (with malignant bone tumors, the legs also hurt at night).
In general, there are so many reasons why a child’s legs may hurt that you definitely won’t be able to figure it out on your own. Sometimes a serious examination is needed to make an accurate diagnosis. It is only important to consult a doctor in a timely manner to prevent complications.

Good night. My son got sick after the New Year; he lay with a temperature of 38.7 for four days. Severe cough, tracheitis. And all this time I have been suffering from phallicular tonsillitis and 39. But yesterday the temperature subsided, the cough began to go away. And this morning he got out of bed and when he screamed, his legs hurt. He couldn’t walk. Refuses to stand. He says it hurts to step on it. He can’t explain where exactly it hurts and how. I examined his legs, touched everything - it didn’t hurt anywhere at rest. There are no bruises, no swelling, no injuries. I anointed his feet with Traxevasin in the morning. Fatum gel for the night. But this did not bring relief. Girls, maybe someone has encountered something similar, I’m very worried.
13 Jan 2015, 00:06
Have you seen a doctor? it could be anything, from muscle pain to intoxication
big mo . As a person with 20 years of experience with sore throats and bronchitis, I can tell you: that in most cases of sore throat, bronchitis, and pharyngitis, it is caused by infection with the bacterium streptococcus. And this nasty bacterium causes complications in the joints. Nothing from folk remedies helps me anymore - only AB. But in your case you need to consult a doctor.

Read about rheumatoid arthritis in children
13 Jan 2015, 00:10
No, we haven't been yet. At first I couldn’t understand what was happening. He's funny. plays, crawls on all fours, even jumps, but on all fours. And how he gets to his feet screaming. In general, I spent the whole day thinking that it would pass, that he was making it up. And in the evening it became clear that nothing was happening and nothing was coming up. Tomorrow we'll go to the doctor. Which one? To the surgeon? To the pediatrician?
13 Jan 2015, 00:12
Of course, it would be better to see a doctor. My little one had it about a year ago. She woke up several times at night crying that her legs hurt. I gave Nurofen in an age-specific dosage. Well, you can take any painkillers for children. Then I consulted a doctor. She said that these could be so-called. growing pains. The bones grow and it hurts.
But in such matters, I would still consult with a doctor who knows your child.
13 Jan 2015, 00:13
If you think about a bacterial complication. I would look towards essential oils, such as lavender and eucalyptus, maybe geranium. Baths, rubbing. Propolis inside.
He got out of bed and when he screamed, his legs hurt. He couldn’t walk. Refuses to stand. He says it hurts to step on it. He can’t explain where exactly it hurts and how.
When we were in cardiology, the neighbor in the ward told exactly the same thing about our little son. They went for an examination to check their heart and joints. I don't know their diagnosis.
13 Jan 2015, 19:47
We visited the doctor. I was diagnosed with reactive arthritis. Tests were ordered. Antibiotics were not prescribed. I read about this disease and I can’t understand one thing: whether some kind of treatment is needed or not. Apparently it depends on the pathogen? How to find out? The doctor prescribed us only painkillers and Nurofen. And many write that antibiotics are needed. Maybe someone has encountered reactive arthritis and can share information?

First you need to get tests, and then talk, because pain occurs not only with reactive arthritis, and before giving drugs, you need to know exactly what to treat. Is there swelling of the joints? Did the doctor measure them with a centimeter? I'm talking about the knees and ankles, are they the same thickness?
13 Jan 2015, 20:21
There is no swelling or redness. The legs generally look quite healthy. The doctor measured the joints.
21 Jan 2015, 12:24
Of course I'm an adult. But in May I got sick with pneumonia, and all the way they diagnosed me with tracheitis, in the end a CT scan showed that it was pneumonia. My joints began to hurt, and I didn’t immediately realize that it was them. In the end, I went to a rheumatologist, they diagnosed reactive arthritis, they said it would take up to a year. It’s been easier for 7 months now. But sometimes my arms and legs and back hurt more severely. The treatment is only NSAIDs and ointments, no one prescribed it, but I drank three in May. Maybe that’s why, now in November I took two for other reasons, but somehow it doesn’t help.
I wish you to get rid of this bullshit as soon as possible

We seem to be doing better. Today is the first day without fever. Just yesterday it was 38. Before that I also had a fever and vomiting. Yesterday I spent the whole day on a drip. They gave him everything to somehow relieve the intoxication. In the evening the temperature still rose. But my legs don't seem to hurt. Prednisolone was stopped today. The tests came back good. The diagnosis of reactive arthritis was canceled - ARVI and neurological complications were diagnosed.

At the end of October 2013, our daughter was seriously ill with rotavirus and became infected. they said in serious condition, because I was severely dehydrated. week on ab+drips and a bunch of other things, strict diet for 2 months. She complained of pain in her legs very often. but she could walk. The doctors all unanimously claimed that it was due to growth. although ours is not high, below the norm. those. We did not observe rapid growth during the year. massage helped. courses from a specialist + I did it at home when I was sick.
and, oddly enough, rhythmic gymnastics helped as soon as we started doing it - my daughter stopped complaining completely, btw. I was sick in the fall and didn’t go to training for two weeks - I started complaining again. resumed training - my legs don’t hurt again
I don't know what to think
25 Jan 2015, 18:00
Girls, we have been discharged and we are already home. The legs are walking. No more fever. We are recovering slowly. We take vitamins and all sorts of enzymes. The final diagnosis, which we learned only from the discharge, is neuropathy. As I understand it, it’s a complication of ARVI. Thank you all very much for your advice and support. I wish you and your loved ones not to get sick))) And we went to treat our little one. a virus was brought from the hospital and our 3-month-old Vera fell ill ((((

Coxsackievirus (also called hand-foot-mouth syndrome) is a highly contagious viral disease most often found in children aged 1 to 7 years. The Coxsackie virus is often confused with allergies or chickenpox. since the clinical manifestations of these diseases are quite similar.
As a rule, the disease begins with a high temperature (up to 39 degrees), which initially occurs in a child without any catarrhal manifestations. After some time, the child begins to complain of a sore throat, weakness, and sometimes nausea and cough. 2-3 days after the onset of the disease, parents may notice a rash on the child’s body. It consists of small red spots with a diameter of 1-2 millimeters. The rash appears primarily around the child's mouth, feet and palms (which is why this syndrome is called "hand-foot-mouth"). Also, red spots or small ulcers can be seen in the child’s mouth. They often itch, so the child may refuse to eat and complain of nausea (sometimes the rash even spreads to the mucous membrane of the throat).
As we wrote above, this virus is very contagious. It is transmitted both by airborne droplets and by tactile contact. Therefore, if one child in a family gets sick, then, most often, other children in the family cannot avoid illness. Among adults, cases of the disease also occur, but more often it occurs without skin rashes, manifesting only in high fever, general malaise and sore throat.
This disease most often occurs in the fall, less often in the spring. There are no special preventive measures to combat it, and the degree of infection during the epidemic is quite high, especially if the child has never had the Coxsackie virus. It should be noted that the disease does not induce immunity, that is, having had it once, you can become infected again, but the disease will be easier than the first time.
The only thing that can be recommended to parents as preventive measures is to prevent their child from visiting places where there are large concentrations of children during epidemic periods (theatres, children's clinics, etc.). If you still need to go somewhere with your child, it is recommended to first lubricate his nasal passages with axaline ointment in order to create a barrier to viruses. You also need to wash your child’s hands more often and ventilate the room in which he is located during the day.
To treat the Coxsackie virus, antipyretics, throat and mouth sprays (Hexoral, Tantum Verde) are used; if the rash causes itching, antihistamines are used. The child should be given more water to better remove toxins from the body and reduce the temperature. There is no specific treatment for this virus; the disease goes away on its own in 10-14 days. There are usually no complications after it, but several cases of meningitis have been reported. provoked by the Coxsackie virus.
If a child shows one or more signs of this disease, he should be isolated from other children (not taken to kindergarten or school) and a local pediatrician should be called.
It is unlikely that you can find a mother in the whole world who would not worry about the health of her child. And even the most harmless colds, which children and adults often suffer from, make her worry and systematically observe his behavior. Contrary to doctors’ recommendations not to panic, mothers are worried and worried in their own way.
And when a baby, for no apparent reason, begins to complain of pain in the legs, the feeling of anxiety intensifies significantly, especially when the baby has just recovered from an acute viral disease. And this is only because not everyone is familiar with the reasons that can cause pain in the legs. Naturally, no article can replace a pediatrician who, after an examination, will determine the true reason why your legs hurt. But still, we will try to reveal the main points.
The most common cause of leg pain is growing pains. As a rule, they are observed in children 3-9 years old and are characterized by the following symptoms:
• absence of bruises, swelling, swelling,
• increased pain in the evening and at night,
• frequent change in the location of pain,
• disappearance of pain during massage.
If most of these symptoms are familiar to you, then you can calm down. Growing pains are a normal phenomenon, but they occur differently for everyone - from their complete absence to severe pain.
If a child’s legs hurt with such symptoms, then a warm bath, a light massage, or a warm compress will help. For severe pain, Diclofenac or Butadione ointment is recommended, and at night a tablet of Paracetamol, Ibuprofen or Nurofen.
Children and adults can experience leg pain due to pathology of the cardiovascular system. The fact is that in this case there is a lack of blood supply to the lower extremities and the legs become weak. As long as the child sits, the legs do not hurt. But as soon as he runs or gets involved in active play, they immediately begin to bother the baby. In this situation, when you feel the pulse, you can verify that it is weaker in the legs than in the arms.
Sometimes the pain can only manifest itself at night and is accompanied by a headache and discomfort in the chest area.
If such symptoms are present, the child should be shown to a pediatrician, who, after tests, ECG and ultrasound, will refer him to a cardiologist.
Mostly, pain in orthopedic pathology occurs with flat feet, poor posture, dysplasia or other pathological changes in the hip joints.
Most often, the pain is localized in one place - the foot or lower leg and appears during movement. There are no other symptoms such as swelling, bruising or redness.
In this case, parents should show the child to an orthopedist, who will prescribe the correct treatment and physical therapy.
Joint pathology can cause pain, which can intensify when walking. In addition, the child has morning stiffness in movements, and the general body temperature may rise for several days and fall on its own. Most often this happens to those children who in the past suffered from inflammation of the adenoids, tonsillitis, or have multiple caries.
But sometimes your legs hurt after suffering a cold at a high temperature. What to do in this case?
It is worth noting that frequent hypothermia, acute viral infections, influenza and even hereditary factors have a destructive effect on the joints. They can trigger the development of rheumatoid arthritis, in which a pathological reaction occurs in the joint, which is accompanied by an inflammatory process. In turn, it destroys joint tissue and provokes the accumulation of salts.
Let's look at the process of influenza and its features.
Influenza is a viral disease that is one of the most severe. The peculiarity of influenza is that it manifests itself annually and in most cases affects children and people with weakened immune systems.
As you know, the temperature during flu often rises to 40 degrees, which requires an immediate response from medical personnel. But it is often observed that during the illness or after it, the child’s legs hurt.
Pain in the legs after a high fever is a kind of complication after an illness and may indicate muscle inflammation or myositis.
Infectious myositis can develop during influenza illness. In this case, the child complains of difficulty in moving due to pain in his legs. In addition, slight swelling of the muscle tissue can be observed.
This is a fairly serious signal that you should immediately pay attention to and tell your doctor in order to avoid more serious complications.
Another reason why a child’s legs hurt is rheumatoid arthritis, which affects joint tissue. Timely consultation with a doctor will prevent joint destruction, which can lead to disability. It is very important to promptly detect dangerous symptoms during the flu and prevent them from spreading to muscles and joints.
Any complications, including those described above, can be prevented if the infectious disease is treated promptly and correctly. If the flu is not completely cured, the inflammatory processes will worsen and cause a serious problem for life. Any inflammatory process can be eliminated with the help of antibiotic therapy, which is prescribed only by a doctor who monitors the well-being and condition of the patient, especially when it comes to children.
EVERYONE should know about this! UNBELIEVABLE BUT TRUE! Scientists have developed a unique remedy that helps restore immunity and prepare it for various attacks of influenza viruses and even restore it if you are already sick. Spring is coming - this is the time when flu activity increases due to a lack of vitamins, and in order to protect yourself and the whole family, scientists advise drinking an effective means of preventing and protecting against infection in the air. In order to avoid complications, parents, taught by bitter experience, use it to strengthen their child’s immunity.
During illness, especially with the flu, which is accompanied by a high temperature, the proper functioning of the blood circulation is disrupted as a result of antibiotics - chemicals entering the body.
The body temperature rises, while the cells of the immune system protect themselves, while all other organs remain unprotected. The immune cell reaction travels through the lymphatic vessels and stops at the joints. A malfunction of the immune system provokes an attack on active cells.
This process affects the joints, causing the child to have aches and pain when straightening and bending the leg. Therefore, at the first complaint of pain in the legs, you need to immediately inform the doctor, who will prescribe adequate treatment in a timely manner. And it doesn’t matter when the legs hurt - during an illness or after a high fever. In any case, this is a serious signal that requires immediate professional intervention.
A proper diet is considered to prevent this kind of complications. In addition, try to ensure that your child has an active lifestyle, balanced exercise, and proper and healthy sleep.
