pain/index.html">back pain is mostly unusual in
children before their teen years.
Nevertheless, if you child complains about back pain common causes may be sports
injuries or falls.

fever do not give children aspirin. If the pain is unrelated to an injury or other known cause, your health-care provider may want to check for an infection.
