i have a healthy 32 month old son who on 3 occations today, has closed his eyes ( kinda fluttery) and just blanked out (maybe 10 seconds) when i asked what is he doing, he was a bit slobbery & slurry with his words...a second later, he was back to his rambuncous self...what should i do?
Hello, The symptoms you mentioned here are very suggestive of absence seizures. They start abruptly in child Chat Doctor.  In this, there is a brief abrupt lapse of awareness or consciousness, sudden discontinuation of the activity being preformed followed by fluttering eyes or staring spells which doesn't last for more than 20 to 30 seconds. And there may be many episodes like this in a day.It's better to go for a neurological examination and checkup, so the cause of this can be identified and treated accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
