What Causes Fainting Like Symptoms In A Kid?
My kid son of 1 yr 8 months is suffering from fever.. he has shown feinting like symptoms yesterday and the temp was 100.3 F or 37.94 C. Earlier he was responding well recovery with Cambiflam. But though treated with higher does of paracetamol he shows very slow improvements. Blood test shows no infection and is good. Given saline and admitted to hospital... please suggest what should be the approach to treat him?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the febrile condition and child was fainted then it could be due to hyperpyrexia, it would be matter of worry if the child being faint without the fever, just watch for that if this is so then it need to be ruled out for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease some time it could be grad mal seizure, hope this information helps.
