Question
What’s causing my child’s dizziness? My son is five and a half years old, and he has been experiencing occasional dizziness since he was three. It doesn’t hinder him from doing anything, but he also says that sometimes he can’t see the blackboard clearly. Could this be related to poor development at birth or is it connected to the heat convulsions he had when he was young due to a cold? Is it related to a lack of trace elements? At People’s Hospital.
Answer
There are many causes of dizziness, which could include a common cold, cervical spondylosis, anemia, Meniere’s syndrome, arrhythmia, or even snoring during sleep. It’s essential to find the cause and treat it accordingly. It is recommended to consume more lean meat, pork liver, egg yolks, milk, fish and shrimp, shellfish, soybeans, tofu, and blood products to supplement iron and protein. Also, eating more vegetables and fruits will help increase vitamin C intake for better iron absorption.
