Question

An 11-year-old girl developed dizziness symptoms after a knee injury and a cold. Although she improved after examination and treatment, the dizziness recurred when she went back to school. What should the doctor do?

Answer

This situation may be due to fluctuations during the recovery period of the disease. The girl may experience symptoms after infection or fatigue. Since she is a girl, attention should also be paid to whether there are any postural regulation disorders or other diseases that can cause dizziness. It is recommended to seek a clear diagnosis at Peking University First Hospital’s pediatric neurology or pediatric cardiology department.
