What Causes Severe Lethargy And Headache In A 5 Year Old?
I have a 5 year old that has been lethargic since Thursday morning. She slept approximately 20 hours in a 24 hour period. She is not sleeping as much but still does not have her typical energy level. She had a headache the last two nights at bedtime which she has never had before. She does not have any other symptoms (no runny nose, sore throat, stomach issues, fever, etc.)

IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU SAW A PEAD ASAP IF THE SYMPTOMS PERSIST
THE REASONS COULD BE MANY
AND IT WOULD NEED A BIT OF EXAMINATION AND INVESTIGATION
IT JUST ALSO MAY BE A VIRAL PRODROME WHICH COULD PASS OFF BUT STILL IT WOULD BE SAFER IF YOU SAW A DOCTOR
