Child temp finally broke but today he’s struggling to stand

My son had something viral but was given amoxicillin as they suspected it might be an infection (throat ) from last time that didn’t fully go away. He’s had some arm pain few days back that got better and today the first day his fever has broken since starting antibiotics yesterday but he seemed fine this morning and we dropped my other child with him in a pram but when I’ve taken him out he’s cried out in pain. He’s fine otherwise sat and playing but he is struggling to stand or walk . Anyone’s child been through this I don’t know if it’s related to what they suspected (tonsillitis)

he complained of his leg hurting when he was in the pram yesterday but was fine after so not sure what’s happening. Wondering to call doctors or get him seen at pharmacy?

Fever and limp is A&E situation, I know the fever has broken but I’d get him seen.

My son had this with flu fyi. But they need to check for bacterial things that need potentially urgent treatment.

That sounds very serious. Call 111 or head to a and e.
