Question
A 10-month-old baby suddenly lost consciousness after waking up from a nap, lasting only a minute (with the whole body becoming limp). Half an hour later, the baby entered a coma state, with the eyes rolling out and lips slightly purple. Subsequently, the baby developed a high fever of 38 degrees. After a week of hospitalization, the stool examination showed no abnormalities, but the iron deficiency was severe. Is this related to being sick?
Answer
It is advisable to seek the opinion of a neurologist, as some symptoms may be caused by excessive fright and it is uncertain whether your baby was frightened. Do not take it lightly and seek medical attention as soon as possible. However, if this condition is not checked during the attack, it usually does not reveal any disease. For such a young child, we still need to pay close attention. In daily life, be sure to observe for any other changes and pay special attention to your baby’s dietary situation.
