What Causes Knees To Give Way After A Bug Bite Episode?

My 6 yr old daughter woke up 2 days ago with a bug bite on her right ankle. She usually has a bad reaction to them. This time it was worse than normal benedryl and hydrocortizone cream not working like it usually does. We figured she was walking funny because of the swelling. Today she is walking like a new born calf. Its like both legs are constantly asleep, like she has lost all muscle control in both legs. She has a hard time standing for more than a couple seconds while holding onto somthing before she falls to the floor.

I think you should consult your pediatrician and get the kid assessed. the pediatrician if finds any change in the examination may further direct you to a PMR specialist or a neruologist.
