fever making arm hurt - HELP

Post by sheri.joshua »

Joshua is running a high fever (102.3) and he is really complaining about his arm hurting. He is holding it close to his body and just crying. I don't know what to do. I am alternating tylenol and ibuprofen every 3 hours, which is helping with the fever, but not with the discomfort in his arm. THis has never happened before - which makes me think he has better sensation, but also breaks my heart. Any suggestion for how to ease the pain?
THanks,
Sheri

no suggestions on how to help the pain for a kid, but i know a lot of the adults have this problem. a fever or anything tends to aggravate the nerves. if its any consolation it does pass like the fever...........anything which brings down the temperature helps a little with the pain.

hope it passes soon & joshua feels bettter bye hazel
