Hello
The most common cause of fever with leg pain is viral myositis. I would like to rule out this condition first.
Muscle enzymes like CPK,LDH give a clue.This is a blood test and can be done in the nearest lab.
There is no specific management of this condition.
I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician for proper evaluation and management accordingly.
