Hello..thank you for your query,
This problem is common after a viral infection in children.
As the immunity power decreases after infectin.
Sometime it is also a symptom of peripheral vascular disease..
I shall advise you to keep childs hands n feet worm..look for any cyanosis when those are cold.any decrease in power,tingling sensation...if these occurs consult your pediatrician asap.
Hope this is helpful..
