What Causes Tiredness In A Child?
Hi i have a five year old boy, this morning was like any other morning, he was running around like a mad thing, ate a little, come two o clock he said he was hungry but didn t eat, then he said he was tired, so i let him sleep for an hour & gave him 7ml of ponstan, because his cheecks waere flushed red. then he seemed to be fine again until about nine, & his rosy cheecks returned & his temp was 39deg, i gave him 10ml of ponstan, his temp is now sitting at 38.8, he says nothing hurts, just tired? any ideas on what to do?

Hi, welcome to this forum, from history provided it just seems to be exertion related tiredness, also it could be a creeping in viral fever. According to history his consumption of food is less compared to expenditure of calories. I would advice to give more attention on his regular feed and keep him well hydrated. That would solve a lot of his tiredness. Thanks
