[|Human|] my son is always tired and sleep almost all day. he is in school and he failed one subject I think he cant concentrate. do you think he needs to take iron pill because im so tired too if I dont take my iron pill everyday, and if I dont Im always sleepy and I was going to tell him to take iron pills.
[|AI|]  Hello dear! Yes iron deficiency anemia can be one cause of tiredness and sleepiness but can be due to other factors like lack of adequate sleep at night(he should take at least 6-8 hrs of nighttime sleep). I would recommend CP(complete blood picture)with peripheral smear and RDW along with serum ferritin levels to rule out iron deficiency anemia and if it is there on reports start iron poly maltose according to the age and weight of the child. Give him balanced diet. Hope it will help. Wishing your child good health :-)
