14yrold extreme muscle pain everywhere esp in his legs. worse everyday.nonstop cough.1wk since flu symptoms. athletic. feels like he ran a marathon.

Likely viral cause: If the muscle pain correlates with the timing of his flu symptoms, the virus is likely causing the muscle pain. I would recommend he see his doctor for further evaluation to be sure, especially if he is having other cold symptoms. There are some tests that can be done to assess for flu and inflammation of the muscles. If viral, time is what will allow his symptoms to improve.
