Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need of any concern, as your daughter does not seem to have a serious internal brain injury.

This is because her CT scan of head is normal.

The symptoms may take about 2-3 weeks to completely disappear.

In the meanwhile, she may benefit from taking pregabalin capsules.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Your daughter had injury to the head now, and also long back. She also had pseudo tumour,2 years ago due to mono.
It appears that she has the symptoms due to exacerbation of the mono. I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. In the mean while you get the report of the C.T scan and other tests.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
