My son has high fever, aching muscles and a mucus cough. could this be related to meningitis?

High fever: These symptoms are more likely to be caused by a flu like viral upper respiratory tract infection, but because of very high fever,I think you should call the pediatrician now for thorough advice and instructions. In the meantime administer Tylenol to bring down the fever.
