Patient's question:
My baby is one year and two months old. Today at noon, he suddenly fainted! His eyes rolled back, his lips turned purple, his face turned blue, and he couldn't cry! He showed no reaction at all. Later, when we pinched his philtrum, he started crying! He then slept for a while and seemed completely fine afterward! Could you please tell me why this happened?Doctor's answer:
A sudden fainting spell in a baby warrants consideration of several potential causes: one is whether there is a brain disease, two is whether a high fever has caused it, and three is whether there is a history of epilepsy. Therefore, based on these factors, a brain CT and an electroencephalogram can be performed to rule out fever. According to the results of these diagnostic findings, symptomatic treatment can then be administered.
