Why does a child feel dizzy sometimes?

Children's physique is relatively weak, because their resistance is relatively low, and they do not know how to resist the infection of viruses. They are very easy to be infected by viruses and cause some diseases. Children sometimes experience dizziness. Of course, every child is the treasure of his or her family, and no one wants him or her to be sick. However, if this happens, we must actively seek treatment. Here we will explain why children sometimes feel dizzy.

When a child feels dizzy, he or she will tell the parents that he or she feels uncomfortable, dizzy, nauseous and other symptoms. At this time, parents should pay attention to it, promptly ask the child whether the condition is serious or not, and then help the child adjust in time and get rid of the torture of the illness as soon as possible.

Children with dizziness should be taken care of and their diet should be adjusted. The child's diet 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.

Parents should watch their children and ensure they get a normal rest and enough sleep. Don't get too excited about playing and forget to take a rest.

Mental care should not be neglected either. Mental stimulation such as depression and anger can cause hyperactivity of liver yang or internal movement of liver wind. Always pay attention to the child's emotions, let the child maintain a happy mood, and do not let the child be in a sad mood for a long time.

Observe the child's head for any injuries. Injuries may also cause dizziness, so parents should take good care of their children and prevent them from getting hurt.

Take your child for a detailed examination. Anemia in children is also a cause of dizziness, so check the child's physical signs to see if there are any symptoms of anemia.

Drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid crowded places, and exercise actively to increase your body's resistance.

Dizziness, also known as vertigo, is a subjective sensory abnormality. It can be divided into two categories: one is rotational vertigo, which is mostly caused by dysfunction of the vestibular nervous system and cerebellum, and is characterized by a feeling of tipping over, with a feeling of oneself shaking or the scenery rotating. The second is general dizziness, which is mostly caused by certain systemic diseases, and is mainly characterized by a feeling of dizziness and a feeling of heaviness in the head and lightness in the feet.

Classification and common diseases

Dizziness is a common symptom rather than a separate disease. Therefore, we can classify and describe the diseases that cause dizziness so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of "dizziness".

1. Rotational vertigo can be divided into two categories according to its cause: peripheral vertigo and central vertigo.

(1) Peripheral vertigo: refers to vertigo caused by lesions in the inner ear labyrinth or vestibular nerve. It is common in Meniere's disease (formerly Meniere's disease), labyrinthitis, drug-induced vertigo (caused by the use of drugs such as streptomycin or gentamicin) and vestibular neuritis.

(2) Central vertigo: refers to vertigo caused by lesions of the brainstem, cerebellum, cerebrum and spinal cord. It is common in vertebral-basilar artery insufficiency, intracranial tumors, intracranial infection, multiple sclerosis, vertigo epilepsy and traumatic vertigo.

2. General vertigo

(1) Cardiac vertigo: common in arrhythmias, heart failure, etc.

(2) Pulmonary vertigo: can be seen in lung dysfunction caused by various reasons.

(3) Ocular vertigo: common in refractive errors, retinal arteriosclerosis, hemorrhage and ophthalmoplegia.

(4) Hypertensive vertigo: Both high blood pressure and low blood pressure can cause vertigo.

(5) Others: Anemia, cervical spondylosis, acute fever, gastroenteritis, endocrine disorders and neurosis can all cause dizziness.
