Patient's question:
My child got scared, waking up from nightmares at night, trembling all over and talking incoherently. It takes a long time to fall asleep if I have to hold him tightly. He is four years old and is also not doing well mentally at kindergarten. What should I do? Thank you! First follow-up question: It has been four nights in a row!Doctor's answer:
Children are often frightened by sounds and environmental stimuli. At this time, parents should hug their children more. This can alleviate their sense of insecurity and help them gradually calm down. Children who are frightened are prone to experiencing night terrors. When sleeping, mothers should stay with their babies more. Avoid causing suffering to the baby in daily life. To alleviate fear, play some soothing music before bed. Speak to the baby more often. Parents should control their emotions rather than worry, worry, and shout.
