Hi Monika There are lots of children with similar problems. This is post COVID, post online phenomena. Dont make the thing worse with too much of treatments. Need to be patient enough bring him back. Take him to school and allow to play in school after discussing with teachers and school authorities. Also provide counselling to get him cope with the school situation. parents should not get disturbed at the behaviour of the child. No need of long term medication for this problem discuss with the doctor and taper off Bye and take care
