Hi, welcome to ChatDoctorViral fever is generally associated with generalized weakness, body aches, malaise, etc. Therefore, feeling of weak during or post infections, esp. of viral origin is common. Adequate nutrition with enough calories, proteins and fluids will help the body to fight organisms and restore the strength quickly. A judicious and as required use of analgesics like diclofenac Chat Doctor.  In case, the condition of your child appears to be critical a consultation of a local general physician is always helpful and safe. With a good supportive care the symptoms should recover by a week. Welcome for further suggestions.
