Hello, my 5yo is usually pretty robust and is rarely ill. I’m wondering if anyone has had similar to the below in their child.
10 days ago after school they started complaining of a headache and stomach ache and what followed seemed to be a pretty standard virus for 4 days (got a sore throat, intermittent high temp, viral rash etc).
They then got better and had 3 days being absolutely fine (back at school), to then be ill again (again - headache, stomachache but no fever this time) for seemingly 24 hours. They then were 100% fine for 3 more days.
This afternoon (10 days after they first became unwell) they seem a little weary and are again complaining of an intermittent headache.
Is this something that could be caused by a normal post viral thing? Our GP gave him a good check over when he became ill again a few days ago and she said she had no concerns. In the days between where he’s been fine, he’s been 100% fine too, and up to all sorts.
It sort of seems like he’s really exhausting himself every few days. If the initial illness had seemed intense or ongoing I’d have expected some intermittent recovery days afterward, but it really did feel like a run of the mill fairly mild virus.
