Hello and welcome to healthcare magic Pain in leg and limping after an episide of fever points towards two important conditions 1.Transient synovitis 2.Myalgia Transient synovitis:In this condition the membrane lining hipjoint becomes sore.It only temporary and often resolves on its own.It usually follows a viral fever. Myalgia:In this case muscles are sore.Without history of trauma or overexertion Virus is almost always the cause.In this condition muscles ache to touch.This too is a temporary condition Treatment is similar for both Keep your child as much painfree and relaxed as possible by warm compressions, warm bath,adequate rest,adequate fluid intake and painkillers and ibuprofen.
