My daughter is 5. Sickly. Dark circles under eyes. Pale skin (not her complexion) if it s going around, she catches it usually. Colds, stomach bugs, she gets ear infections. Adenoids out (at age 2 also tubes in for awhile) She s complaining of headaches lately. Eyes were checked earlier this year...no problems there. Her teacher says some days she just looks sick but doesn t complain & has even sent her to the nurse. She got sick one time & they checked & her platelet levels were low but they raised back up after a week of testing everyday. The doctor keeps blowing me off & I m frustrated!
Thank you for question, don't worry about your child. Dark circles around eyes are very common in anemia with iron deficiency. It is also common with vitamin deficiency like vitamin D.if headache persist then needs Brain MRI will be helpful to exclude any serious cause. Advice :-balance diet-full blood check up with CBC, but B6,12 levels, vitamin D level.lots, thyroid function test. Urine test, stool for ova and parasite. If anything positive, check with pediatrician.
