What i can collect from your post is that your child is suffer from weakness and recently having prolonged fever. He might be suffering from Myositis or other congenital disease associated with weakness. I cant help you without the investigation workup that already you have done. Kindly post it to me. In many of the cases there are definite treatments which should be started as early as possible to get the best results. Thank you.
