Hunan child fell ill due to excessive homework

An 11-year-old schoolboy in Hunan Province, China, seriously harmed his health as a result of doing excessive homework. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to local media reports, on August 26, a boy named Lian Lian was continuously engaged in preparing lessons from 8:00 AM until 10:00 PM. He tried to complete all his summer assignments in one day.

After several hours, he developed symptoms such as dizziness, weakness in his hands and feet, headache, and shortness of breath. His parents immediately took him to the doctor.

Specialists announced that the boy was diagnosed with hyperventilation syndrome. This condition arose as a result of constant mental and emotional stress.

The boy was given a special breathing mask, and his condition improved within a short time. Doctors emphasize that pressure from parents, pre-exam anxiety, and prolonged use of gadgets are the main causes of such conditions.

Hyperventilation syndrome can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, muscle spasms, and rapid heartbeat, and it may even be life-threatening. In Hunan Province, more than 30 children sought emergency medical help in August with similar symptoms.

This figure is ten times higher compared to previous months. Therefore, parents and schools need to pay special attention to children's health.

Instead of giving children excessive workloads, their rest and healthy development should be ensured.
