Signs and Causes of a Toddler Fever

Muscle Ache

Dehydration during a fever can make toddlers have muscle aches. This occurs when tissues and muscles do not get sufficient fluids to function properly. The sensation tends to occur at the same time as the fever. However, it can be hard for parents to spot this symptom in children. Normally, they will have reduced movements and physical activities. Stiffness can make it harder for them to move around as usual. Early detection is important to prevent further issues. [3]
