What Causes Tiredness In Night?

I have a 10 year old son who has gotten very weak after dinner 3 times in the past 5 days. It has not been immediately after dinner... however, within the hour. He is so weak to the point of laying down and closing his eyes. All three times I gave him some oranges, crackers and water which seemed to help somewhat. He is a very active little boy.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, weakness at night time for 5 days in a 10 year old child could be due to acute gastritis, upset stomach, viral infection. You should measure temperature of child at night, if the temperature is more than give paracetamol tablet. give more Fluids to child. ask to child whether he has pain abdomen or regurgitation like symptoms. start a multivitamin syrup like syrup bevon 5 ml 2 times a day for 15 days. If no improvement in 24 hours, then child should be examined by a doctor. if there is no improvement, the child will most probably need antibiotics. Take care.
