Patient's question:
Hello, I have an 8-year-old daughter. Last year, she started having constant head tremors, and this year her hands also started moving. We took her to the hospital, but it didn't help. I want to ask, what could be the cause? Last year, her head started shaking uncontrollably, and this year her hands also started moving. It gets worse when she has a fever. The doctors did a thorough examination, but there were no results.Previous Treatment and Effectiveness:
At Chengde Affiliated Hospital, they prescribed medication for her nerves, but it didn’t work.
Desired Help:
I want to ask what could be causing this and where we should seek treatment?
Doctor's answer:
This is a late-onset encephalopathy, where the onset is due to the original affected nerves being unable 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 more severe symptoms.Medical advice: The current treatment, in addition to nutritional supplements, requires a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for syndrome differentiation and regulation. This aims to provide sufficient nutrition to the affected nerves to prevent secondary ischemic degeneration and to use neuroregenerative drugs to activate and stimulate nerves that are not fully anesthetized. Only by completely restoring nerve function can activities such as movement and other functions be effectively controlled and optimally recovered.
