General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I'm afraid of possible Guillain-Barre syndrome precipitated from recent viral infection.

So, immediate evaluation by a neurologist to check this out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini,
