Question
A parent describes their child wearing a hat that covers the eyes in the sunlight, then entering the house to use the bathroom. About 10 minutes later, they noticed the hat had completely covered the child’s face, and the child was crying and sweating with an increased breathing rate. The parent is concerned whether this situation can cause brain oxygen deprivation in the child and asks how to determine if the child is choking on water.
Answer
Based on the description, a hat covering the head will not cause difficulty breathing as it is breathable. The child’s crying is due to discomfort. It is recommended to follow regular breastfeeding, consume more vegetables and fruits, appropriately supplement calcium, and get plenty of sunlight exposure. If the child exhibits other symptoms again, they should be taken to the hospital for further examination. These suggestions are hoped to be helpful to parents and wish the child a healthy growth!
