[|Human|] Hello. My 5 year old son had a near fainting episode at school last week. Symptoms included facial pallor, pale bluish lips, sweating and nausea. Right as his symptoms were beginning he said he needed water. The teacher gave him some apple juice and by the time I picked him up (15-20 minutes later), he looked better although his lips were still pale. He had lunch on the way to the doctor s office and had normal coloring by the time we got there. His extremities stayed a bit cool until well into the doctor visit. His exam was normal and no follow up except to make sure he stays well hydrated. Thank you. Lauren
[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor .com. Brief answer - It could be hypokalemic shockDetailed answer, this looks like a hypokalemic shock which occurs due decrease in water in body. Since, he was also asking for water, it also points to this. Your physician has examined the child, and he found no abnormality, this also points towards hypokalemic shock because you were giving him water and food, so the shock corrected gradually. I think you should advise your child to take liquid adequately and on regular interval. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
