What Causes A Restrictive Movement After A Fever?

Hi Dr. Santosh, my 10.5 months son had fever for the past 7-8 days. He is much better now with a reading of 37.4 C. During those fever times, i gave him only formula milk. Now i notice he cant stand straight nor step forward and when i put him in his walker, he doesnt move. Please help.

hi

thanks for your question

muscle and joint inflammation is common after a viral infection in a child however there are other reasons why your son may not want to walk such as a joint or muscle infection. he therefore needs to be physically examined by a dr and have some blood work done. further tests such as an X-ray or ultrasound may be required.

best wishes
