A member asked:
What could cause lower back pain while fighting off a viral infection in an elven year old?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Virus caused: Viruses can cause painful muscles (myalgias) as part of the illness. Typically these are short lived, lasting only a few days. They respond to fluids and children's ibuprofen.
