What Can Cause Severe Pain In Legs After High Fever?
5 year old boy had temp of 105 for 4 days. woke up this morning and is unable to apply any pressure to his legs. When he tries to standup his legs buckle and he screams out in pain. He has been to the doctors recently and they have said he just has a viral infection. What could be causing his legs to hurt so much?

Thank you for asking querry.
Yes your doctor is right.
Viruses can affect muscles of the legs which causes inflamation and pain.
No need to worry it will subside on its own,but get one CPKMB done if possible and do keep the follow up.
Hope you find this helpful.
