Patient's question:
At the age of 8, the girl often experiences teeth grinding, clenched fists, and whites of the eyes rolling up while sleeping. Massaging her for a while helps alleviate these symptoms. What I don't understand is why she grinds her teeth, clenches her fists, and rolls her eyes up while sleeping?Doctor's answer:
Consider the possibility of epilepsy and hysteria. In this case, it is important to seek medical attention promptly after an episode and undergo an electroencephalogram (EEG) test, which may show positive results. If necessary, further tests on neurotransmitters should be conducted. Actively adopt a comprehensive approach combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine for medication regulation. Combine clinical treatment with active specialized care, and follow up regularly for review. Rest more, maintain a balanced diet with adequate nutrition, reduce psychological stress, and ensure good sleep quality to effectively control the frequency of episodes. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
