My 4 1/2 year boy had diarrhea and vomiting two weeks back. It was not too severe and settled in diet. After that he started complaining of ankle pain and also limping. We had seen a pediatric orthopedic doctor who suggested to take rest for 10 days. What could be the reason of this limping?

Hi Ammuhere...

There are so many different things it could be... Hopefully with some rest and so forth - the limping and pain will go away. Children tend to be pretty resilient and bounce back much faster than we do!

If not - I would suggest following up w/ your doctor.

Good luck.
