Reasons and Treatment for Sudden Fainting in Babies

Sudden fainting in babies can be caused by various reasons, including excessive heart fire, vomiting, and fright. In some cases, it may be associated with abnormal EEGs, which could be a sign of epilepsy. It is recommended to undergo further examinations such as EEG, brain mapping, dynamic EEG monitoring, and CT scans of the head to determine the cause. Under a doctor’s guidance, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and antiepileptic drugs such as carbamazepine and sodium valproate can be taken for treatment. It is also important to master some first aid measures, such as using tranquillizers (diazepam) or acupuncture at the Neiguan point.
