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.
I have a 15 year old daughter who has been complaining for the past two months about lethargy. She has feelings of burning up inside, yet does not have a fever or feel warm to the touch. She has headaches, nausea, and complains of being tired a lot.
there can be many reasons for lethargy. one common reason in this age group for girls can be hypothyroidism. Does she also have ireggularitities in menses?? or look for any swelling of thyroid gland. if yes i suggest get her thyroid profile done. another reason can be anemia. so get her hemoglobin levels also done.
