Patient's question:
My child is 6 and a half years old. He has been crying at night for over two months, crying two or three times every night, each time for about five minutes. An electroencephalogram was done, and it showed mild abnormalities. The doctor said the main concern was whether there were symptoms of epilepsy. Today, I made an appointment with a pediatric neurology specialist. The doctor said it was night terrors and recommended taking seven days of diazepam. If it's still the same after seven days, other medications will be needed. I want to ask if diazepam has a certain dependence? Diazepam is mainly taken for insomnia, but my son isn't insomnia. Moreover, can such a young child take diazepam tablets? Online, waiting, urgent, urgent, urgent.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely not recommended for those under 18 years of age to take it. However, if there is suspected epilepsy, experimental treatment should be administered. Short-term use does not cause significant adverse reactions and does not lead to dependence. Wishing the baby health and happiness.
