Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 11 years old, three weeks ago, while playing near the door, accidentally scraped the outer skin of her left knee. There were no other injuries. She rested at home for six days, then went back to school for six days, after which she developed a cold. She was treated at home, with the highest temperature reaching 37.8 degrees Celsius. After four days of school, she was taken home again three days later because of dizziness. The symptoms were dizziness, but she could stand up straight, without vomiting, though she sometimes felt nauseous. The highest temperature during this period was 37.5 degrees Celsius, with most readings around 37 degrees Celsius. She was treated at home for a cold for one day, then taken to Hebei First Hospital for examination. The results from the eye, nose, and throat tests were normal. A brain CT scan showed no abnormalities, and an electroencephalogram was also normal. Then, she was taken to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital for further tests, where they said there was intracranial infection and admitted her for treatment for seven days before discharge. After discharge, it was the National Day holiday for eight days, and she was doing fine at home. After the holiday, on the first day of school, she started experiencing dizziness in the afternoon. What should the doctor do? Thank you...Doctor's answer:
It is the recovery period of the disease, and fluctuations may occur during infection or fatigue.As she is a girl, attention should also be paid to whether there are any orthostatic regulation disorders or other diseases prone to dizziness. It is recommended to consult the pediatric neurology and pediatric cardiology departments at Peking University First Hospital for a definitive diagnosis. We know that intracranial infections in children can cause significant harm. If left untreated or treated improperly, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to the patient. Therefore, it is crucial to seek timely and professional medical treatment at a reputable hospital. This is the key.
