Muscle weakness is common during fever.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

During episodes of fever it is normal to get muscle weakness. This might lead to the requirement of rapid unsteady steps in order to maintain balance, failing which leads to a fall.

Taking juicy fruits like citrus fruits should help in they contain plenty of potassium which is essential for effective muscle contraction.
