Patient's question:
At half a year old, my daughter has had a problem with tilting her head back and blinking rapidly for over a year. Each time she experiences an episode, her head tilts up, her eyelids blink extremely quickly, and it lasts for about 3-4 seconds. Her legs also become unsteady, and she feels dizzy. After the blinking, her eyes also hurt. Could you please ask the experts what kind of disease this is and how it should be diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Sudden stiffness in the child: In certain positions. For example, when dressing the child in a supine position. Difficulty bending their body or hugging them. Flaccidity: The baby's head and neck are soft and cannot be lifted. When held upside down, their limbs hang down. The baby rarely moves. Developmental delay: Learning to lift their head, sit, and use their hands is slower than that of peers. They may use one part of their body more than another. For example: Some children often use one hand instead of both hands. Poor feeding: Difficulty with sucking and swallowing. The tongue often pushes milk and food out. Difficulty closing the mouth. Abnormal behavior: They may be fussy, easily irritable, have poor sleep. Or they may be very quiet. Sleep too much. Or not smile at 3 months.
