Patient's question:
My child is a first-year high school student. At the end of the term, he became quiet and lacking energy. He told me he had a cold and a fever, so I gave him cold medicine, but it didn’t improve. He also said his mouth had no taste and he didn’t want to eat. Coughing, I took him to the hospital for three days of injections. I asked when it had started, and he said it began on the 17th with a fever and nightmares about ghosts. It still didn’t get better during these days, and he kept wanting his mother to be with him. I wondered if he might have psychological problems, so I took him to a large hospital for psychological counseling and thorough examinations. The doctor only said to wait and see. When I got home, I found that nine of our chickens had died, and he cried sadly.Doctor's answer:
If organic diseases can be ruled out, this situation is often considered to be caused by psychological issues due to excessive mental stress. It is recommended to establish good communication with the child's teacher to understand the specific circumstances at school. Additionally, it is important to pay close attention to the child's emotional state and prevent negative emotions from affecting them. Engage in many activities with the child that make them feel relaxed and happy, and maintain good communication with them. Do not put too much pressure on the child, as excessive pressure can lead to poor mental health. Encourage the child to communicate more with others and read/watch positive books and TV shows. Also, maintain a well-organized schedule.
