Patient's question:
Fever led to sinusitis, after intravenous infusion, she started shaking her head, then later switched to nodding, and then circling. What kind of assistance is needed: Does this relate to the nerves? Can an EEG detect it...Doctor's answer:
An EEG can show obvious signs of encephalitis. Children with this condition should be questioned for possible viral encephalitis. If the EEG shows no problems, the child may naturally improve over time. I've seen a similar case where a child kept shaking their head uncontrollably after a cold, but the EEG showed no issues, and it naturally resolved after some time. The above advice is for the question "nodding and spinning, then fever, sinusitis after IV fluids, then shaking head, later changed to nodding and spinning." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
