Does Viral Infection Cause Paleness, Fatigue And Dark Circles Under Eye?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My 8 yr old daughter had the flu 3.5 weeks ago and then it turned into a bad viral infection that caused her to miss a week of school. She hasn t been the same since even though her doctor released her back to school. She is very pail, fatigued, not much of an appetite. Dark, swollen, puffy around and underneath her eyes. Now, her stomach is swollen and very hard. She says it doesn t hurt but all of this is too much. Any idea what could be wrong with my child?

this is all due to pneumonia from which your child is recovering. during pneumonia there may occur gastroparesis and decreasd gut motility. this may take time to recover this. so have patience.
