8 year old son looks constantly tired and pale, have noticed his energy levels has decreased over last few weeks and he has become quite irritable and generally not himself. he also complains of having a sore throat and pains in his sides and legs. he is eating ok and and drinking fluids ok the only other thing ive picked up on is that his nose is constantly congested and his breath has a foul odour. Gp has done bloods but fbc and glucose result marked as satisfactory? he also has a few enlarged lymph nodes which has been like this for a few weeks?

Pediatrician 's  Response
hi,
welcome to Health Care Magic Forum

All the symptoms you mentioned about the boy is not very comforting. You need to take the boy to a specialist pediatrician. We need to run the blood tests again and rule out any serious cause of his illness. Not just the baseline investigations, he needs to undergo some advanced tests to be certain that its nothing serious. But don't delay on him. Hope everything goes on fine.
