What is Fainting Spell (Syncope)
Fainting spell, or syncope, is a temporary loss of consciousness due to a sudden drop in blood flow to the brain. It can be triggered by various factors, such as dehydration, or emotional stress. In children, syncope is often harmless but can indicate underlying issues if frequent.
