Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 11 years old this year, accidentally scraped the outer layer of her left knee while playing near the door three weeks ago. There were no other injuries. She rested at home for six days, then went back to school for six days. After that, she developed a cold and was treated at home. Her highest temperature reached 37.8°C. After four days of school, she was taken home again three days later because of dizziness. The symptoms were dizziness, but she could still stand up straight, was not vomiting, and sometimes felt nauseous. Her highest temperature was 37.5°C, mostly around 37°C. She was treated at home for a day as if she had a cold, then went to Hebei Handan No. 1 Hospital for a checkup. The results from the eye, nose, and throat examination were normal. A brain CT scan showed no abnormalities, and an electroencephalogram was also normal. Then, she went to the Maternal and Child Hospital for a checkup, where a lumbar puncture test was performed, and it was said that there was intracranial infection. She was hospitalized for treatment for seven days and then discharged. After her discharge, it was the eight-day National Day holiday, and she was fine at home. After the holiday, on the first day of school, she started feeling dizzy in the afternoon. She is asking the doctor what to do. Thank you...Doctor's answer:
It is the recovery period of the disease, and fluctuations may occur during infection or fatigue.Since 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 go to the Department of Child Neurology or the Department of Child Cardiology at Peking University First Hospital for a clear diagnosis.
