Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi. Unexplained bruises may be because of some defect in her blood clotting mechanism( either platelets or clotting factor defect) . It can also be due to some infections, autoimmune disorder or rarely malignancy(blood cancer) . Also her tiredness etc can be due to Anemia which may be because she is loosing blood because of clotting mechanism . Whatever be the cause it needs thorough investigation and treatment will depend on what the cause is. Specialist consultation will be needed most probably after your GP gets the blood reports. In the meanwhile she has to take rest at home and avoid exertion. Also please tell her to check how her urine and stool color is.
