Hi Winston
Body aches can be an expected symptom/ part of the viral infection that he has, it can also be due to the coughing. I suggest that, if the fever and coughing increases together with the rib and back pain, that he should rather go back to the doctor, because then the infection could have spread to his lungs. Good luck and I hope he feels better soon.
