What Causes Fatigue And Burning Sensation In The Stomach?

My 15 yr old daughter is tired, no energy and pale looking. She is approx. 5 7 1/2 and about 105 lbs. She said she has not felt good for a week now. Last night, she said her stomach was burning. She eats, but isn t always the best eater! I don t think she drinks enough either. Not sure what to do !!!! Just know, that she s not acting like her normal self. thank you

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You would be the best person to know whether she is not herself.

If you think that she appears tired then you should be assessed.

This assessment should include history , physical examination and blood tests.

The blood tests would be for full blood count and ESR. The blood count would determine if she is anemic since you note that she is pale with little energy.
It can also determine if any infection is present that may be contributing to her symptoms.

The ESR is a marker for inflammation, it goes up with any infection, trauma, allergy or cancer in the body.

Blood tests can also be done to assess for dehydration

I hope this helps
