Do Stomach Worms Cause Dull Face Patches And Episodes Of Fainting?
Sir, My daughter aged 9 years has several dull patches on her face. She often complains of stomach pain. What is more worrisome about her is that she faints for a very short period and regains consciousness within minutes. She does not convulse during fainting nor any jerking is seen. The fainting is almost once or twice in 24 to 48 hours. Is this due to worms? CAT scanning and EEG did
From the available description it appears that she is suffering from severe anemia due to worm infestation. The another possibility is syncope but the white patches can not be explained on the basis of syncope. If her EEG and CT scan are normal than you need to proceed for routine blood tests like complete blood count.
