What Causes Severe Fatigue, Nausea And Drowsiness In Children?

He had an espisode about a week ago at night with funny feeling head, instant drowsiness and nausea and last night his legs felt very heavy after walking up the stairs and he was nauseated.

Hello. I just read through your question.
Most often these things are caused by a virus which ultimately passes on its own. Rest and hydration are usually all we can do. One other diagnosis to consider is Mononucleosis. I recommend consulting with your doctor and discussing this possibility.
