Hello. My son is 3 years old. He had a fever and was feeling unwell a few days ago. He has since been better. This evening, he seemed fine (he went to daycare today). All of a sudden, he started saying that he wasn t feeling well. I took him to bed and he became very pale and lethargic. No fever, slightly heavier respiration. He is asleep now and I am very concerned. Should I take him to the emergency room or monitor him and wait until the morning? Thank you.
Welcome to the ChatDoctorI have gone through your question and understand your concerns. It seems that your son is still suffering from some infection which is leading to lethargy, paleness and heaviness of respiration. These are alarming signs, and he needs an immediate clinical examination by pediatrician to rule out serious infection. I would recommend you to take him to ER for proper evaluation and definitive treatment. Hopefully this will help you. Take care
