Listen "Child Health: Breath Holding Spells "
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textEver witnessed a child get so upset they hold their breath until they turn blue or go pale? In this episode, we break down breath-holding spells, a common but frightening occurrence in children aged six months to six years. Learn what triggers these involuntary episodes, the difference between blue (cyanotic) and pale (pallid) spells, and what physical signs to watch for. We'll provide clear, practical guidance for parents and carers on how to keep your child safe during a spell.
