Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic.
It is not uncommon for children to feel tired occasionally. However prolonged tiredness extending whole day needs clinical evaluation.
Tiredness in kids might be due to Anemia low hemoglobin), lack of sleep, chronic allergy or asthma, heart diseases, type 1 diabetes, chronic infections etc. Most common cause is anemia
Consult your doctor. He will do detailed clinical examination and may ask some investigations like CBC,BSL etc. to confirm exact diagnosis.
