Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What are some reasons that a normally healthy 6 yr old boy would pass out? It was a fairly hot day, but he had breakfast and a beverage. Then was outside for a few hours at an outdoor market and passed out. I know that perhaps dehydration is the first thought, but what could be some other reasons? Also, would it be recommended that he have an exam by a dr.?
