As the title says, my 8 year old daughter has for several weeks been complaining of 'not feeling well'. She has a few more specific complaints, but they seem to come and go:
Stomach ache (has had ongoing issues with constipation)
Sore throat
Aches and pains, sometimes seem to be joints, sometimes more muscular, different parts of the body.
More emotional than normal.
She also has a cough/cold but probably not related.
We have a GP appointment booked, but it's all so vague that it's hard to know what to make of it. There may well be a psychological aspect, but I do think there's something physical going on as well, as she's usually a very happy child. No worries that we're aware of, happy at school and so on.
Any thoughts? I know it's not a lot to go on!
