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.
HiT hanks for writing to Chat Doctor. 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 healthRegards Chat Doctor.
