Question
How should transient dystonia be treated?
Answer
Transient dystonia generally does not affect a child’s daily life and often improves on its own. Children with mild symptoms do not require special treatment, while those with more pronounced symptoms may be prescribed small doses of medication under a doctor’s guidance. Providing a supportive home environment, reducing fear and anxiety, and encouraging confidence can be beneficial. It is recommended to limit daily TV viewing to no more than half an hour to reduce stress and fear-inducing factors.
