Brief Answer:
The cause needs to be looked into

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Firstly, I would like to ask the age and weight of your child as that would be an important determinant in addressing your query. It is unusual for a healthy child to feel lethargic and the reason needs to be explored. Unless it is a specific vitamin deficiency (which is unlikely, as otherwise you would have mentioned them), random supplementation of vitamins might not help. However, if you are keen, it is advisable to give Omega3 supplements and Neurobion Forte. Once you mention the body weight, I would be able to mention the specific dosage and dose forms.

Brief Answer:
Medicines mentioned

Detailed Answer:
You can give Tab. Brentamin TQ once daily for 1 month. You can also give SeaCod Capsules once daily. For the rest, random investigations would not help. A detailed discussion and consultation would be needed. In case you seek to arrange for one, please reach out to the customer care, and they will guide you with the same.
