What Causes Sore Throat, Lethargy, Fatigue And Gingivitis?
My 13 year old son has a severe sore throat, lathargic, fatique also has what looks like gingivitis behind front teeth. He has had this before, but I don t remember if he had a sore throat with it but he had infection on his face that took a long time to heal. It looked like impetigo.
