Yes! I'm an ER nurse, and with half the kids I triage their parents tells me they are lethargic.

My child had FPIES and lathargic was the correct term. We would do everything to wake up my light sleeper and would only get an eye flutter.

Would a more appropriate term be 'listless'? To mean not getting off couch and acting sleepy and weak

My child was ACTUALLY lethargic and every doctor questioned me even though she arrived by ambulance.

As pediatricians it's our job to ask clarifying questions to find out what the parents mean. It's ok if parents don't know nuances of medical lingo.

My child was truly lethargic, couldn’t wake her for more than a couple seconds. Ped ignored my concern & we ended up in nicu for 3 days.

I’ve had to use this word in the appropriate context and it was so scary. FPIES reactions sometimes cause him to be lethargic and it’s so scary. 🥺

When my son was electrocuted he was lethargic and the ER definitely just thought I meant he was tired 🙄
