Patient's question:
Fever led to sinusitis, after intravenous infusion, she started shaking her head, then later switched to nodding, spinning around. What kind of assistance matters: Does this relate to the nerves? Can an EEG detect it...Doctor's answer:
An EEG can show obvious signs of encephalitis. For children like this, it's still worth questioning whether they might have viral encephalitis. If the EEG shows no problems, the child will likely improve naturally over time. I've seen a similar case where a child kept shaking their head uncontrollably after a cold, and their EEG also showed no issues. The condition naturally improved after a period. The above advice is for the question "nodding head, spinning, fever leading to sinusitis, IV fluids, then shaking head, later changed to nodding head, spinning." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
