Suggest Treatment For Lethargy In A Child

My 2 year old son is fine all morning...no symtoms, lots of energy. Then in the afternoon (around 2 or 3) he lays down and has no energy for the rest of the day. There is little to no fever and no other symptoms that I can see. This has been going on for about 5 days now.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...by what you say the history is exactly fitting into a description called myasthenia gravis - a condition in which the muscles get easily fatigued by evening or on exertion. I suggest you not to neglect this important symptom and get your son evaluated by a pediatrician at the earliest.

Regards - Dr. Sumanth
