Hi,
welcome to HCM
Viral fever is generally associated with generalised weakness, body aches, malaise, etc. Therefore feeling of weak during or post infections, esp. of viral origin is common.
Adequate nutrition with enough calories, proteins and fluids will help the body to fight organisms and restore the strength quickly. A judicious and as required use of anageslices like diclofenac drugs or paracetamol to combat the fever and body ache is suggestible. In case, the condition of your chid appears to be critical a consultation of a local general physician is always helpful and safe. With a good supportive care the symptoms should recover by a week.

welcome for further suggestions.
Regards,
Dr Pankaj Borade
