What Causes Sudden Sweating, Unresponsiveness And Head Drooping In Infants?
Hi Doctor, my baby of 8months normally very playful, suddenly went cold and started sweating. The baby also began to feel unresponsive and head slightly dropped. This happened a few minutes after cereal feeding. This was so for a few minutes and gradually improved. Now she s absolutely fine. What happened?

Hello
Sudden unresponsive with head drop could be to due to 1. atonic seizures , 2. if there is history of excessive cry before attack it can breath holding spell 3. I will like know if there is history of choking . If it is a single episode there is nothing to worry , but baby once needs examination by a paediatrician to rule out any major illness /problem , development assessment of child.
Thanks
