Dr. Qian's child is 13 years old and has fainted twice in the past two weeks during the school's flag-raising ceremony. They went to the hospital for a brain CT, which was normal. They would like to consult you about what could be causing this.Doctor's answer:
A child suddenly fainting could be due to orthostatic hypotension or temporary insufficient blood supply to the brain caused by anemia. Pay close attention and monitor the situation. If anemia is suspected, it's important to enhance nutrition sufficiently. Glucose calcium iron zinc oral liquid can be consumed. It is recommended to stabilize the diet structure and include more iron-rich foods such as fish, meat, and eggs. Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, and folic acid can enhance the absorption of iron supplements.
