Me again. Someone please answer ASAP.
My 4 year old still isn't himself with this mysterious viral infection he has that has no symptoms except a slight cough.
We were back at the doctors yesterday because I couldn't stop worrying and she said the same thing as urgent care, they couldn't see anything wrong or specific so must be viral.
But my problem is we are at the end of day 4 now and he's so pale and tired. He's up and down all day, he'll get a burst of energy and play for a bit and then crash, he still doesn't really have an appetite, I'm getting as much juice in him as I can too.
Has anyone else's child had this where they've turned pale and tired and what was it? Did it go away or did you have to have treatment? I'm worried it's anemia or something bad like that, I have booked a blood test but the earliest date was the 25th June.
And I'm also confused because the NHS website it says if your child is pale then to call 999? Should I be doing that?
He is eating and drinking just not as much, he's not bouncing off the walls like he normally is but is playing, but he is definitely quite tired. He's sparko in bed right now, but that's another thing, he's struggling to sleep which he never has done, he keeps waking up in the night and taking ages to fall back asleep.
What should I do?
Like I said in my previous post I have severe health anxiety and it's really really bad this time, I cannot stop worrying.
