Patient's question:
Hello, my daughter is 8 years old. Last year, she started having constant head tremors, and this year her hands have also started moving. We took her to the hospital, but it didn't help. I want to ask, what is going on? Last year, her head started shaking constantly, and this year her hands have also started moving. It gets worse when she has a fever. The doctors did a thorough examination, but there were no results.Medical history and treatment effectiveness:
At Chengde Affiliated Hospital, they prescribed medication for nerve issues, but it didn't work.
Desired help:
I want to ask what is happening and where we should seek treatment?
Doctor's answer:
This is a delayed encephalopathy, the onset of which is caused by the original damaged nerves failing to receive adequate blood supply, leading to secondary degenerative inflammation in the early stage. Currently, the treatment of this condition is more challenging than treating primary nerve damage, and delayed treatment may lead to the recurrence of even more severe symptoms.Recommendation: Current treatment should include not only nutritional supplements but also a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for syndrome differentiation and regulation. This approach aims to provide sufficient nutrition to the damaged nerves, preventing further ischemic degeneration. Additionally, medications that promote nerve regeneration should be used to activate and fully restore the function of under-awakened nerves. Only by achieving complete nerve recovery can activities and other functions be optimally adjusted and fully restored.
