9. Fatigue

Fatigue is another symptom that appears in illnesses and infections of the body that occurs because our body is busy fighting off invading bacteria, and therefore consumes larger than normal amounts of energy. Moreover, younger children do not have bodies that are highly developed, and they might not have the same energy levels as adults. That's why fatigue can be especially troubling for them. In most cases, rest is the best remedy, especially when accompanied by other prescribed treatments. It's important to allow the body to heal from the infection, even though the child might want to go outside and play.
