Is Fainting After Crying Normal For a 4-Year-Old?

Patient's Query

My 4 year old daughter faints for a few seconds and falls to the ground after crying. Is that normal? Should I be concerned?

Pediatrics And Pediatric Surgery

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Kids sometimes hold their breath while crying intensely. This causes a brief oxygen lapse, leading to fainting. It's common and typically harmless. Try calming your daughter when upset. Encourage slow, deep breaths to prevent fainting episodes. However, if the episodes persists or worsens, speak with your pediatrician.

Male | 3.5

Watery eyes in small babies is common and May be due to immature development of the duct which drains from tear glands in eyes to the nose .
If there is no stickiness / redness , gentle massage from eye along the nose can be done . Breast fed babies and pass all types / colours of stools. Working mothers best option is to express and store breast milk. Additional feeds by formula available over the counter can be given

foaming while sleeping for my 3 year old

Female | 3

Foaming during slumber for a 3-year-old could stem from excess drooling. This occurrence is typical as teeth develop. At times, it may resemble foam. It doesn't usually signify a severe issue. Ensuring your child's head is slightly elevated while resting might alleviate the situation. Additionally, utilizing a soft pillowcase may absorb the drool. However, if your child exhibits breathing difficulties or persistent coughing, seeking medical attention is advisable.

My baby girl has whitish uvula this is confusing me is it normal in Newborn kindly help me with it

Female | 1.5 months

A whitish uvula in newborns is perfectly normal, which is the small dangly thing that hangs in the back of the throat. This can be caused by the buildup of milk or mucus. If your baby is not having any issues with breathing or feeding, then there is usually no reason to worry. Simply after it. If your baby is having trouble breathing or feeding, get in touch with a pediatrician.

My daughter laughs all day and can't concentrate

Female | 17

Lots of laughter can indicate other problems. Kids may laugh excessively to hide stress or anxiety. Speak candidly with your daughter about her feelings. You may need counseling to manage emotions better. Early intervention helps kids feel better faster. Note laughter and concentration difficulties. These signs could signify deeper issues needing attention.

My baby is suffering from constipation plz tell me about best constipation medicine I have already tried many syrup r drops kindly give me best suggestions

Female | 2.5 year

Constipation in infants often presents as infrequent stools, discomfort during bowel movements, or hard stools. Common causes include low fluid intake, insufficient fiber in the diet, or changes in routine. It's important to ensure your baby stays well-hydrated and receives a balanced diet suitable for their age. Gentle tummy massages and warm baths can also help relieve discomfort. If over-the-counter options haven't worked, I recommend discussing this with your pediatrician. They can suggest appropriate treatments tailored to your child's needs and rule out any underlying issues.

I have questions in girls nipple and arola growth

Female | 18

It's completely normal for young girls to experience changes in their breast area, including the growth of nipples and areolas. This development often begins during puberty due to hormonal changes in the body. Symptoms may include tenderness or slight swelling, which is also typical. If you notice any unusual changes like pain, discharge, or significant variations in size, it’s a good idea to speak with a gynecologist for reassurance and guidance. They can provide personalized insights and help address any concerns.

Hello sir mera baby 3.6 year ka hai or usko typhoid hua hai To typhoid ke injection se usko nind or susti aati hai Or body temperature h 93.4 To kya ye normal h Es injection ko de ya nhi

Male | 3.6

Typhoid can cause fatigue and fever, and it's not uncommon for some children to feel lethargic after vaccinations. A body temperature of 93.4°F is quite low; normal ranges typically start around 97°F. It’s important to monitor your child closely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly recommend consulting a pediatrician. They can provide the best advice tailored to your child's needs. Keeping your little one hydrated and comfortable is also important during this time.

I’m worried about my daughters certain movement she’s 2 and half month old

Female | 0

Babies usually have different movements when growing. Your 2.5-month-old daughter may show jerky, shaky motions. Her developing nervous system causes this. These movements normally go away as she ages. Contact your pediatrician if concerned about any signs.

My baby got pee’s problem in this few days cause before this he will pee full of diapers every 6-8 hours..but this 2-3 days no pee’s at all got just few drops..dont want to drink milk always crying a day and night..how can i solve this problem?

Male | 2

Your baby's trouble peeing is worrying. Infrequent, small puddles aren't normal. Dehydration or infection could explain it. Few wet diapers raise red flags for babies. Even if reluctant, keep giving milk and water often. Have a pediatrician examine the issue promptly.

Mere bete ne pink cotton canddy khai thi or uska peshab gulabi ho gaya hai

पुरुष | 2

Eating pink cotton candy can give your son pink urine. Harmless, yet odd. It's called "pink urine syndrome". Certain dyes pass through the body unchanged. He should drink lots of water to flush it out. Don't let him eat too much. But if pink urine persists or he feels pain, take him to see a urologist.

I have 19 months baby boy right hand pimples small full hand

Male | 2

Your 19-month-old son might have something that looks like tiny pimples on his or her right hand. This is likely because of a skin condition known as eczema, which is quite common among children. Common symptoms include redness, itching, and small bumps. Providing the skin with baby lotion and avoiding harsh soaps are some of the ways to keep the skin moisturized. If the problems persist or get worse, it is recommended to visit a pediatrician.

Male | 14

A lot of kids, even at age 14, go through bedwetting. Your body isn't controlling the bladder yet during sleep hours. Don't fret, most youngsters outgrow this issue eventually. You could try using the bathroom right before bedtime. Skip drinking liquids in the evening hours too. Speak with your doctor for extra advice to fix this.

My 1 year old hit his head recently and has been trying to sleep when he does fall asleep he’s hard to wake up just curious on what I should do

Male | 1

Many parents worry if their child bumps their head. A toddler who's hard to wake after a head injury may indicate a serious issue. Be alert for constant tiredness, throwing up, or pupils that look different sizes. See a pediatrician quickly to be sure all is well. With young kids' head injuries, it's best to get checked rather than risk harm.

From what you say, your son may be experiencing an allergic reaction after swimming. Allergies may be responsible for the symptoms such as itching, rash, sneezing, or difficulty breathing. Levocetirizine dihydrochloride is a medicine for allergies. The initial dosage for your son, who weighs 8 kg, will be 3-4 mL. However, it is always better to seek the advice of a pediatrician before determining the accurate dosage.

Mere bache ko teez bokhar or moshun he

Male | 2

If your child has a very high fever and such symptoms, it is the first thing to understand whether this is an infection, allergy, or for some other reason. If he is also coughing, having a sore throat, or feeling body ache with fever, these may be common viral or bacterial infections. You do not need to worry; you can give him turmeric milk at home, or just water. However, if the fever lasts more than three days, or more symptoms arise, then it's time to take time out to see a pediatrician.

My one month daughter struggles with constipation and reflux and but constantly groans and moans all the time. Even when she's sleeping she constantly brings her feet up and moves around. She also cries a lot like she's in a lot of discomfort. Her moaning is persistent and if she goes quiet she squeaks really loud like she's struggling to breath.

Female | 1 month

When a baby moans and groans, it could indicate gastroesophageal reflux. This condition involves stomach contents traveling up the esophagus. You may notice crying, struggling to breathe, and general discomfort. Consult your pediatrician regarding potential treatments.
