Suggest Remedy For Aggressive Behaviour After Being Treated For Meningococcal Septicemia
in feb this year my son had meningococcal septicemia he was 22 months, thankfully he came out of the illness with no affects! but myself and my partner have notice a change in his behaviour, he can be very arrgesive at times and has even drawn blood with either biting or pinching. ive tried everything with louis to try and keep him calm we sit and read each night which usyally ends up with him hitting or biting. he does not concentrate on anything - he day dreams alot as well, i was wondering if maybe i should take him to see a professnal to see if they can help

Hello,
Such kind of self-harming behaviour can be a psychotic symptom.
Drugs like risperidone and carbamazepine have been proven to reduce such behaviour. In my clinical experience also, i have used these drugs with good results.
Hope this works for you.
Thanks
