A member asked:
Dr told me my sonbasically had a cold with a fever. it's been 8 days , he has no fever but is extremely lathargic and pale.. what could it be?

It could be serious: Without knowing the age of the child nor any other details, any child who is "extremely lethargic and pale" should be checked again right away, if it has already been 8 days since the child was last checked. Children tend to recover from illnesses without much trouble... so this situation could be something serious. If unable to contact one's doctor, the ER can evaluate the child now.
