Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Not enough info: Would need to know how old child is, any prematurity history, ongoing medical conditions, duration of the apneic periods, etc., etc. If in doubt, at minimum, page pediatrician and ask for advice--if unable to contact, get checked in er for child's safety & wellbeing.
