oh poor thing!
I am no medical expert so cannot comment on those symptoms with any accurate advice. Sounds like the pain relief is kicking in and bringing the temp down which is good.
If he were mine, I would make sure he drank plenty of liquids to avoid dehydration, keep a close eye on his symptoms and how they develop. Where are the leg pains? My DD1 got pains in her joints and in her groin when she was off with a virus. Apparently joint pain and the swollen glands (groin, under arms, neck) are fairly common symptoms with various viral infections.

He just say's everywhere
He has just managed a slice of toast but says his throat hurts so off to gp at 9.20. He has had tonsillitis 4 times since july so hope its not that.

Ds slept all day on me so only just managed to move.
