Patient's question:
My son has been experiencing (suffocation) every time he laughs or cries since last month. His face and tongue turn purple as they are closed. ECG and EEG tests have shown no problems.Doctor's answer:
This symptom is similar to a heart-related issue, where insufficient blood supply to the heart can cause purplish discoloration. Other tracheal or lung problems cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to undergo an echocardiogram, chest X-ray, and tracheal X-ray. This condition is quite serious and requires a thorough examination for diagnosis. It is also important to monitor the child's condition regularly and seek timely treatment if any issues arise.
