Hi...if the kid is otherwise active, do not worry.
Moreover your family doctor has seen the kid and reassured you.
You need to worry if -
1. There is weakness over whole half of the body.
2. There is deviation of angle of mouth.
3. There is high grade fever.
4. Severe swelling and redness and heat near any of the joint in the affected limb.
If these are not there - you need not worry. Wait for a week as your doctor has suggested.
