Question
My child suddenly experienced a fainting spell at 11 months old, losing consciousness, and regained normalcy after 10 minutes. The same situation occurred again 40 days later. What could be the cause?
Answer
It is recommended to undergo an EEG at the hospital to rule out epilepsy. Your description only mentions the child ‘fainting’ and does not mention other symptoms such as seizures. It can be temporarily ruled out that the disease has seizure symptoms. However, epilepsy cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to visit a professional hospital for a detailed examination before treatment. There are also syncope attacks and asthenic attacks. Additionally, it is necessary to rule out hypoglycemia and hypotension. Therefore, it is recommended to have an EEG, CT scan of the head, and blood sugar tests for a consultation.
