Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Yes, your son needs to be thoroughly examined by a doctor and, if required, a neurologist before investigations are done so that appropriate investigations can be ordered. A detailed physical examination will reveal a lot of things and appropriate management can be started which will include physiotherapy.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son an early recovery.
