Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Fever In A Child
Yesterday, my child had sore throat and fever. Our pediatrician thought it looked like strep infection and gave him antibiotic shot on the thigh. Since today morning, he is complaining of severe pain in thigh and limps while walking. Our ped had confirmed it is not an allergic reaction. Could it be nerve injury? If so, usually, how long does it take to resolve?

Hi...Without examining the kid directly it is very difficult for me to decide whether there is any nerve injury. But usually thigh muscles are very bulky and do not let nerve injury happen so easily. I feel that he might be limping just because of the pain in the thigh due to the shot.
