Symptom #5: Irritability and Lethargy

Irritability is a term that can be used to describe the state of being prone to frustration and anger. It is considered to be an emotion that can negatively affect the mood. It is often seen in young children especially those who are still unable to express themselves verbally. Parents may also describe children who are irritable as being fussy. Causes of irritability include lack of sleep, frustration, hunger, feeling too hot, colic, feeling unwell, and more.

Lethargy in children may also manifest as increased irritability. Parents who notice increased irritability and lethargy should keep an eye on their children as it usually means they are unwell or bothered by their surroundings.
