i have been seeing kids for over 40 years and i cannot recall one incident where a child fainted from pink eye or even an ear infection. as a matter of fact it is pretty rare for a six year old to faint period so yes i think your little girl deserves a thorough examination to find a reason. i just can't buy the pink eye/ear infection theory. sorry. like you i am a bit skeptical. i don't know anything about your little girl or have the ability to examine her so i don't really have any wild guesses as to why she fainted or if this was a seizure but i do feel she deserves a work-up. i would suggest a pediatric neurologist.
can fainting be a symptom of pink eye? our 6 yr old fainted and the pedi thinks it is due to pink eye/ear infection. she was staying the night with grandparents. her grandfather says she fainted. she describes it as she "fell asleep standing up" and when she woke up her "ears were making a really loud noise". the other symptoms were swelling around her eye eye pain crusting around her eye ear pain and complaints of headache on and off several weeks prior. her pedi talked on the phone with her grandpa and then called in an antibiotic. does this seem like a correct dx? should we get a 2nd opinion?
