Question : My 7 year old male has a mild dose of vomiting and diarrhea with high temperatures. After 2 days he couldn't walk on his own. No pain in joints but in calf muscle. Should he see a doctor?

take him to Emergency now

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
This could be a very serious infection. Any time a child has high fevers, vomiting and can not walk it is serious.
Please do not delay, take this child to Emergency immediately.
This is urgent, do not wait
