Suggest Treatment For Uncontrolled Crying In Child

default
Posted on Sat, 16 Aug 2014
Question: My daughter is 2 and a half years old. She cries incontrollably in the middle of the night raiding her hands in the air. I understand the decorum at home wasn't maintained when I conceived to when she was born followed by her first and second year. She is extremely nitpicky about clothing sometimes going about naked. I am really worried about her. Kindly advise me whether to consult a child psychologist. Please help asap

Brief Answer:
consult a developmental paediatrician

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using health care magic.
If such a child is brought to my clinic I would evaluate her for sensory processing disorder, especially tactile.
The episodes which occur in the sleep can be treated by using clobazam 2.5 mg at bed time.
She will benefit from sensory integration therapy.
The home decorum will not cause such problems in the child.
I hope I have helped you
If you have any other query please feel free to ask.
