What Causes Sore Legs And Loss Of Appetite?
My four year old has been complaiing of sore legs for about 8 weeks now when she walks. She has also had a loss of appetite for the last few weeks too and always tired. I have been to the family doctor and he has said it was viral but i am not convinced. Any indications as to what this may be?

Hi....By what you quote I feel that a basic blood work up needs to be done for the kid to look for other causes of loss of appetite and limb pain. We need to rule of problems like anemia and lymphoreticular neoplasms.
If there is fever then all the more these become more relevant.
