Hi
Your child developed this weakness due to brain infection soon after birth.
The left sided weakness or paresis is a residue of that. What your child needs at this stage is physiotherapy and may require braces /calipers to support himself.
You should also consult an orthopedic specialist who can examine him for any deformities of the limbs for which a surgical correction may be required.
Good luck and God bless your son.
