Hi,

If there is weakness in leg or if child is not moving, there is a risk of DVT (deep vein thrombosis)- clot in leg veins. Please get a venous Doppler of the leg done.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
