What happens when a child becomes dizzy? What should I do?

Children feel dizzy because of insufficient blood supply to the brain. It may also be due to anemia, so they should eat more blood-enriching foods, such as red dates. In daily life, if a child squats on the ground for too long, he or she will feel dizzy when standing up, but this symptom will gradually improve as the child grows older. We can adjust our diet, avoid spicy foods, and ensure enough sleep. If the dizziness is severe, go to the hospital in time.

1. It may be orthostatic adjustment disorder, which is obvious when the child gets up in the morning or stands up from a squatting position. This disease is not an organic lesion in the heart or brain. The disease will gradually improve or heal with age.

2. To rule out blood system diseases in children, nutritional iron deficiency anemia is the most common anemia in children in my country. If the child is severely anemic, it can cause dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms. The simplest way is to give the child a routine blood test.

3. Pay attention to whether your child has viral myocarditis. This disease is often caused by viral invasion of the myocardium after the common cold. The child may show symptoms such as fatigue, palpitations, chest tightness, and dizziness. Electrocardiogram combined with myocardial enzyme spectrum examination can help confirm the diagnosis.

4. Pay attention to whether your child has sinusitis. This disease is also common after repeated upper respiratory tract infections. Children may have headaches, dizziness, and aversion to learning, which are often more obvious in the morning. Anterior and posterior sinus radiographs can help with diagnosis.

1. Adjust your diet. The diet of patients with vertigo should be nutritious, fresh and light. Eat more eggs, lean meat, vegetables and fruits. Avoid eating fatty, sweet and spicy foods, such as fatty meat, fried foods, alcohol, chili peppers, etc. Nutritious food can replenish the body's deficiencies, make Qi and blood vigorous, and enrich the brain marrow. For vertigo caused by anemia, leukopenia or chronic wasting diseases, nutritional conditioning should be the main focus.

2. Fatty, sweet and spicy foods can produce phlegm and increase fire, which will aggravate dizziness. Therefore, people suffering from hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis should use fatty, sweet and spicy foods with caution. During an acute attack of vertigo, water and salt intake should be appropriately controlled. Modern medicine believes that this can reduce the edema of the inner ear labyrinth and vestibular nuclei, thereby relieving the symptoms of vertigo or alleviating the attacks.

3. Take mental care. The mental care of patients with vertigo cannot be ignored. Mental stimulation such as depression and anger can cause hyperactivity of liver yang or internal movement of liver wind, thereby inducing dizziness. Therefore, patients with vertigo should be broad-minded, optimistic, happy and emotionally stable, which is very important for preventing vertigo attacks and reducing the number of attacks.

4. Pay attention to rest and daily life. Excessive fatigue or lack of sleep is one of the triggering factors of vertigo. You should rest during and after an attack of vertigo. During an acute attack of vertigo, you should stay in bed. For example, if dizziness is caused by insufficient blood supply to the vertebral artery, the symptoms will worsen when standing and will be alleviated when lying in bed. Bed rest can also prevent physical harm caused by fainting. It is very important for patients with vertigo to ensure adequate sleep. After adequate sleep, the symptoms may be alleviated or disappear.

5. Furthermore, patients with vertigo should try to avoid turning their head and neck left and right, front and back. If there is an inner ear disease, the change in head position may affect the function of the vestibular system and induce vertigo. When patients with cervical spondylosis turn their necks or lean back or forth, the vertebral arteries may be compressed, affecting blood circulation in the brain, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain and inducing dizziness. The stimulation of sound and light can also aggravate vertigo, so the room should be quiet and the light should be dim.

If a child experiences dizziness, it is recommended that parents take the child for a nutritional check first. This will put your mind at ease after ruling out the possibility of major illness in the body. Most cases of this condition are caused by nutritional imbalance. Pay attention to regulating children's diet.
