Is Numbness In Child's Hands And Feet Normal With The Flu?

I have no money but our little girl is just getting over cancer and I am concerned
we have all had the flu, she is nine and started with vomiting and diareha last night. everything she eats or drinks she throws up or it comes out the other way. her back hurts, her feet and hands are numb feeling, she can walk but is unsteady, she had a brain tumor and it is 100% gone, she does have something in the right thalamus however they have no idea what it is but are not concerned, she has not been on chemo for close to four years. I just need to know if the numbness is normal with the flu

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your concern and sorry for your daughter's health problem Mam the numbness of hand or finger is very unusual in case of flu, the kid has a history of brain pathology so the numbness might be connected with this and in my opinion this has to be investigated in this direction have word with her Doctor, and take care of kid good luck.
