Question
My 5-month-old son suddenly lost consciousness at 2 PM on May 20th. At that time, he had no symptoms like coughing. This condition recurred at 2 PM on June 30th, while he was drinking milk. He suddenly cried and had difficulty breathing. After pressing his “Guanyuan” point, he regained consciousness. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
If the episode is accompanied by a fever, it is usually related to high fever convulsion. Fever-reducing medication should be administered, and consideration should be given to using An Gong Niuhuang Wan. In addition, timely treatment for the fever should be provided. If there is no fever during the episode, it may be epilepsy. It is recommended to visit a pediatrician immediately for an EEG examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
