Brief Answer:
Temporary brain hypoxemia.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Dizziness, vision disturbance, headaches in your son's case were caused by temporary impairment of brain supply with oxygen (hypoxemia).

Both conditions (cold with coughing and insufficient food) contribute to this temporary brain dysfunction.

It is necessary for your son to rest for few days, rich diet, plenty of fluids and an evaluation by your son's GP or Pediatrician about extension of a possible respiratory tract infection.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Kind regards.
