dear madam

please do not get apprehensive, you have not shared your country of residence, and if polio has been declared eradicated in your region.

it may just be a simple transient muscular weakness, it would have been better if you would have shared what medication was given to the child.

just keep a watch on the child and if it does not improve please re visit the pediatrician.
