What are the reasons for a 9-year-old child suddenly fainting?

Patient's question:

Fainted for two or three minutes and woke up. Saw her rolling her eyes, her mouth turning black, and her face turning pale.
Test results: No history of treatment or effectiveness: No expected help: What tests to do

Doctor's answer:

Based on the condition you purchased, symptoms such as fainting for two or three minutes, rolling back of the eyes, sudden frothing at the mouth, and pale complexion, it is preliminarily considered to be a case of childhood epilepsy. During a childhood epilepsy episode, symptoms such as sudden loss of consciousness, frothing at the mouth, limb convulsions, incontinence, pale complexion, and fainting may reappear.
Given the child's condition, it is recommended that the patient visit the neurology department for a follow-up examination. Relevant tests should be conducted, including an electroencephalogram (EEG), head CT, MRI, 24-hour ambulatory EEG, and blood tests (including glucose, calcium, phosphorus, and electrolytes, etc.). This will help determine whether it is indeed childhood epilepsy and clarify the next steps in treatment.
