Post Chicken Pox slump

My DD 4yrs had Chicken Pox about a month ago. She has physically recovered but is ridiculously tired. Sleeping 12 hrs every night and wanting to sleep in the day. Screaming when going to nursery and generally weepy. This is unlike her and awaiting tests on urine and faeces from docs in case there is anything else. Is it possible to have this reaction post virally this young? I am getting really concerned, has anyone else experienced this or is the chicken pox just a coincidence? Advice please!

did she have a bad case of it ? my dd1 had it last year very badly at the age of 7 and it knocked her out for ages! I wouldn't be worried tbh. I can recommend a tonic like sanatogen or metatone.

thanks donnie, yes she did have it badly maybe I just need to keep letting her sleep. Obviously so concerned I posted message twice!
