Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Extreme Tiredness And Excessive Sleepiness In A Child?
My daughter just turned 10. She has suddenly started acting cranky and is extremely tired. She usually goes to bed around 10 in the summer. But last week or more she has been so sleepy she ask to go to bed before 7 at night and then wakes in morning still tired. I took her to doctor and she checked her for Mono. it was negative. But they did say her white blood count was very low. I am getting worried because no improvement.
You also should check her for iron deficiency anemia and also thyroid issues. Also a viral infection other than mono can cause the symptoms of tiredness in her. She needs to get fully evaluated. Taking any multivitamins can help her improve immunity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
