My 12 year old son fell asleep today at 3:30 and has been sleeping since. He states he doesn t feel well- headache, stomachache, and his mouth hurts. Regular bedtimes and waking recently, but napping during the day which is unusual for him. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
Headaches and abdominal pain in a child can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, gastrointestinal disorders, and neurological conditions.
In this case, it may be helpful to monitor your son's symptoms closely and seek medical attention if they persist or worsen. Fatigue, headache, stomachache, and mouth pain may be indicative of an underlying illness or infection.
Some potential causes of these symptoms in children include viral or bacterial infections, such as the flu or strep throat, as well as conditions such as gastroenteritis or appendicitis.
It is important to seek medical attention if your child's symptoms persist or worsen, or if they develop additional symptoms such as fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. Your healthcare provider can evaluate your child's symptoms and perform any necessary tests or imaging studies to determine the underlying cause of their discomfort and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
