6-year-old son had a stroke right after waking up, doctor emphasized 4 signs parents need to know to save their child

1. Head injury

Children’s intracranial arteries are very sensitive. If a child suffers a head injury due to a collision, a blood clot can form, causing a blockage of the cerebral artery and leading to a stroke. In Xiao Song’s case, he fell while playing and was not immediately noticed by his parents.

2. Infection due to inflammation

Infection can cause inflammation of blood vessels, leading to blockage. Inflammation not only narrows blood vessels but also creates chemical factors that are harmful to blood vessels, thereby increasing the risk of stroke.

3. Obesity

Obese children are at high risk of diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood fat and diabetes, all of which are risk factors for stroke.

4. Excessive mental stress
