Question
A 19-month-old baby suddenly loses voice while crying, the face turns blue, lips become purplish, and the eyes roll up, then returns to normal. What kind of illness could this be? How should it be handled?
Answer
This situation could be due to a temporary disruption in the baby’s nervous system caused by extreme emotional excitement, leading to short-term problems with breathing and circulation. It is recommended that parents control the baby’s emotions in daily life, avoiding excessive anger or crying. It could also be a problem with the heart and cardiovascular system. Parents are advised to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to identify the cause and receive early prevention and treatment.
