Diagnosing malaise involves a comprehensive approach. Pediatricians will typically begin with a detailed medical history and a physical examination. They may ask about symptoms, duration, and any potential triggers. Additional tests may include:
Blood Tests: To check for infections, anemia, and other abnormalities. Imaging Studies: Such as X-rays or MRIs to rule out structural problems. Psychological Assessments: To evaluate for anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues.
