Continued Fatigue After an Illness

Case overview

Elena thought Nico was back to normal. He gets through school one day, runs an errand with her afterward, and says he is fine. The next morning, he leaves his phone facedown and stays in bed while his friends make plans without him. Elena knows not to make too much of one bad day. The trouble is, it is no longer one bad day. At the family clinic, Priya asks Elena to start earlier. “What changed first?” Elena lines up the school days, the errands, the sleep, and the mornings after a busy day. The notes could reveal a pattern. They could also show a family worrying before they have enough to go on. Elena has to decide whether to keep watching, call the clinic back with a clearer account, or act sooner. Elena wants to know which daily changes matter most before the next conversation at the clinic.
