What Causes A Swollen Tongue And Low Sugar In A Newborn Child?

Hello, My newborn grand baby is in Tripler Army Medical Center with a swollen tongue and low sugar. What can cause this to happen. We are worried because Army Medical Center s tend to have PA s and student probing around. We would rather her be in a Children s Hospital. Please advise.

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Hypothyroidism, infant of diabetic mother, sepsis are the few common causes of low sugar
It needs treatment with IV dextrose.
