KOTA KINABALU, — A 10-year-old child who died, believed to be from food poisoning, on Thursday in Sandakan had a history of consuming food bought by his father two days earlier.
Sabah State Health Department director Datuk Dr Asits Sanna said the child had experienced symptoms of diarrhoea, fever, and loss of appetite. On Wednesday, he suffered a seizure and was subsequently taken to the hospital for treatment.
He said emergency treatment was administered as the child was found to be unconscious and required respiratory assistance.
“The child was admitted to the Paediatric Medical Ward before being pronounced dead. Initial information obtained indicates that the child’s mother also consumed the same food and experienced similar symptoms.
