What Could Sudden Paleness In An Asthmatic And Autistic Child Indicate?
Last Thursday, 5/1ST I noticed that my daughter was unusually pale. and the color of her lips are also pale. She is asthmatic and been taking her normal treatments. She is also autistic and takes Clonazepam, Risperdone, Topirates, Fish Oil, and Geritol vitamin complete. Getting dressed, which she does independently seems to be an effort.

thanks for your query.
from history its seems your child may have developed anemia.
i suggest you to consult a pediatrician for proper evaluation to find out the cause of anemia. it may be due to nutritinal deficiency of iron/ vitamin B12 or folic acid. or may be due to increase destruction or decrease production of red blood cells.
Only after investigations proper diagnosis can be made.
