Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

A complete examination is definitely required if a 6 year old is so tired.

There could be several causes for that extreme tiredness. One of them could be anemia. Yes viral infections may be responsible for some lethargy.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
