DS was off school for 3 days week before last with high temp, slight cough.

Not sure if its related, but tonight for about the 4th/5th night in a row he has gone to bed saying he is 'shattered'. I've asked and he says he does not have any pain and is not worried about anything, just tired.

He is not excessively active - school, footie twice a week, occasional riding his bike, much like most other kids his age.

He wakes up on his own at 7am or thereabouts.

Not sure if I should worry - but I am, a bit.

My DS 9 is quite tired, still hasn't got back into the swing of things after the summer break.

If your DS hasn't been well then it is quite normal to have post viral fatigue.

Give it another week and if there is no improvement take him for a check up. If only to put your mind at rest.
