What Causes A Swollen Tongue And Low Sugar In A Newborn Child?
Hello, My newborn grand baby is in Tripler Army Medical Center with a swollen tongue and low sugar. What can cause this to happen. We are worried because Army Medical Center s tend to have PA s and student probing around. We would rather her be in a Children s Hospital. Please advise.

Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Hypothyroidism, infant of diabetic mother, sepsis are the few common causes of low sugar
It needs treatment with IV dextrose.
Investigate for causes.
Wishing your child good health
