High Fever, Leg And Arm Weakness, Pain. Been To ER, Pediatrician, CT Scan. Suggestion?
My son had high fevers for 4 days, then seemed better, but woke up with leg and arm weakness and pain that has remained for the past 4 days and does not seem to be improving. Hurts only when sitting with legs hanging or standing still. Walking is ok. Been to the ER and pediatrician and CT scan and blood work and no conclusions have been found.

There is no cause for concern if there is no fever and focal neurological deficit in form of muscle weakness. Soreness and pain is quite common after any viral infection. Give him plenty of oral fluids especially lime water with salt added, there is further no indication for further investigations.
