Has your toddler ever done this

Yesterday, when I picked ds up from school he was acting totally fine. Then all of a sudden in the car he started coughing, gagging, and whining like he was hurting. I kept asking him what was wrong and he just continued with acting like he was hurting.

When I got him out of the car he wouldn't stand up and wanted me to hold him, he was VERY flushed, sweating, and his face was sooo red. Still coughing, gagging, and whining. I thought his tummy was hurting or something.

We got brother from grandms, got back in the car and he started eating the orange grandms gave him and started acting fine again! Stopped doing everything he was doing and acted completely fine the rest of the night!! WTH. I know he was no faking b/c he was sweating and sooo flushed!

Ok, maybe not this exact thing, but has your toddler ever acted really sick and then just acted better all of a sudden?? Or something similar?? I am worried about it now.

I would see if they gave him any kind of new snack at daycare. ?The gagging and wheezing would scare me like he was having a reaction or allergy. ?A bug bite? ?A lot of sugary snacks?

?

I would definitely talk to his teachers.?

sounds like low blood sugar

OMGoodness, I just looked up low blood sugar and it does sound like that! I need to make my baby a doctors appt right now.

I would check if he just had something dry to eat.  Did you try to give him a drink...maybe he just had a "dry throat"...I get that myself sometimes.  My DC's have acted weird at times (not exactly like you described) but weird just the same and I think...oh oh...what now.  Then all of a sudden they are fine.  Could he have just witnessed another child do something similiar at school...choke etc.  BTW...I never heard of that reaction from low blood sugar.

That's the thing, there is NO WAY he was faking it. He was pale, sweating, and his face was bright red. He wouldn't stand up and just seemed to not be able to get comfortable. Gagging, coughing, and just crying and would not tell me what hurt. Then, all of a sudden it stopped! I am so worried about it now.
