Question
A child keeps shaking their head involuntarily and the symptoms are getting worse. What kind of disease could this be? What are the recommended treatment methods? Which hospital and specialty department would be best for this condition?
Answer
Frequent head shaking in children can involve multiple causes, including brain vascular neuropathy, neurological disorders, external injury, or chemical imbalance in the brain. It is advisable to undergo a brain imaging examination to determine if there are any organic lesions. Additionally, consider whether there is a brain inflammatory lesion caused by fever, or abnormal discharge of neurons. It is recommended to undergo systematic examinations and treatment at a hospital, while observing the child’s facial expressions during sleep, though supine sleeping may also cause difficulty breathing.
