What should you do if your child suddenly loses consciousness?

Patient's question:

At 10 months, the baby suddenly lost consciousness after waking up from a nap, with the duration lasting less than a minute (completely limp). Half an hour later, the baby appeared drowsy, with outward rolling eyes and slightly purple lips. Then, a high fever of 38 degrees Celsius developed. After staying in the hospital for a week, tests on the baby's stool showed no abnormalities, but severe iron deficiency was detected. Is there a connection between the illness and the iron deficiency?

Doctor's answer:

Need to see a neurologist, as some symptoms are caused by excessive fright. I don't know if your baby is the same, but don't take it lightly. It's important to see a doctor as soon as possible. However, if these symptoms are not checked during an episode, it's usually difficult to diagnose any specific condition. The child is so young, so it's important to pay attention. Daily observation is still very important, and there may be other changes as well. Pay close attention to your child's diet.
