What is the treatment for dizziness in a child?
Patient: My five year old just got real dizzy and fell, I am not sure why. Could it be blood sugar? She had pancake for breakfast with syrup, a root beer at lunch and then a cookie. This has never happened. She had not had anything to drink for the day other than that root beer. Please advise! Doctor: Hi.... I understand your concern. By what you say I feel that this could be a transient ischemic attack or a type of seizure called Complex partial seizure or a rhythm disturbance in the heart. I suggest you consult your pediatrician and get an ECG, ECG and echo cardiography. We can proceed further based on reports.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
