Why Is My Child Having Of Dark Circles, Yellowish Complexion And Abdomen Pain?
My daughter is 5, she eats little meat, but otherwise had a diet of fruits, vegetables and carbs. She has become unwell in the last 24 hours, she had very dark circles under her eyes, yellowish complexion, running a temp between 37-39 over the last 24 hours. I have given paracetamol to control the temp. Her only other symptom is complaining of a sore bottom and occasional abdomen pain. Please can you advise, many thanks

HI...I feel she might be having acute viral hepatitis, most probably Hepatitis A viral related. I suggest you need to consult your pediatrician and get a CBC/ Liver function tests and prothrombin time and anti HAV IgM done.
She needs to be on diet high on glucose content and if she is not passing stools well she will even require laxatives.
