Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear,
Limping in child could be due to many causes and not necessarily due to serious cause. Post viral infection there could be Inflammation of sole of the foot causing the child to limp. Exact diagnosis will however depend on clinical examination.
I would suggest you to consult your child Pediatrician for thorough clinical examination and assessment.
Take care
