I've got a gut feeling something isn't right. I posted in normal health chat too but I am concerned about something going un noticed and would appreciate advice.
My son is 6 . He's exhausted all the time. He falls asleep in the car and asks to close his eyes to rest. He gets leg pains alot especially at night. He's emotional all the time because of tiredness.
He's behind in school and I'm sure it's down to fatigue. He's not growing as he should as the doctor has said he's not pur on weight in a year or grown much in height.
Bloods showed low ferritin but he's been on iron for a month and no change. Also had low ALP which they said could be low zinc but we're trying everything and no success.
Constantly complaining of tummy pain and yesterday was crying in pain then had awful diarrhea. He has lymph nodes visible in neck all the time.
The last week he's developed what seems to be an eye tic. Rapidly blinking both eyes and says they hurt. Doctor couldn't find anything but said if he developed a headache to go to a@e.
He's under ent for possible enlarged adenoids but not going until may for an appointment.
What would you do?
I feel I'm not getting anywhere with doctors but know that this is not right. A 6 year old should not be asking to rest!
