Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
For a child of 5-6 years the blood pressure 120/80 is high.
Normally it should be 100/60.
Usually the blood pressure is high in patients of nephrotic syndrome or it may increase due to steroid therapy.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
