How to treat vertigo in children

Vertigo in children is caused by increased blood viscosity due to seasonal changes, which can lead to poor blood circulation in the brain and insufficient oxygen transport, thus causing dizziness. To treat vertigo in children, we should use anticoagulants and vasodilators, and avoid blood vessel compression. We can massage the blood vessels more and apply hot compresses to promote vasodilation to relieve symptoms.

Cerebrovascular vertigo: In summer and winter, due to the increase in blood viscosity, various cerebrovascular accidents are prone to occur, leading to the occurrence of cerebrovascular vertigo. You should pay attention to drinking more water and avoid sudden changes in body position, such as getting up suddenly to go to the toilet at night, which can easily cause cerebrovascular vertigo. Once it occurs, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. After diagnosis, you can be given appropriate vasodilators, antiplatelet aggregation drugs (such as aspirin), anticoagulants, etc.

Brain tumor-related vertigo usually develops slowly, with mild initial symptoms and is difficult to detect. For mild vertigo that gradually appears, if it is accompanied by symptoms such as unilateral tinnitus, deafness, or other signs of damage to adjacent cranial nerves, such as numbness and decreased sensation on the affected side of the face, peripheral facial paralysis, etc., you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, to get a clear diagnosis and early surgical treatment.

People with cervicogenic vertigo should pay attention to their posture when working or studying, and move their neck appropriately after working at a desk for a long time. The pillow should be of appropriate height and should not be too high to avoid cervicogenic vertigo. Rehabilitation methods are often used in treatment, such as cervical occipital traction, massage therapy, acupuncture, etc. Severe cases require surgical treatment.

For vertigo caused by other diseases, such as endocrine vertigo, hypertensive vertigo, and ocular vertigo, the primary disease should be actively treated, such as controlling blood pressure and treating ophthalmic diseases. The vertigo can be relieved naturally based on the recovery of the primary disease.

The above is the main content of this article. I hope everyone can receive treatment based on the patient’s own condition. If you feel that your condition has changed, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
