Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Involuntarily Shaking Of Head And Twitching In A Child?
My daugher is 8-months old and just started shaking her head side to side almost involuntarily and twitching. She is on her 2nd dose of medicine for a double ear infection. She was on amoxicilian but is now on augmenten (3 ml, 2x/day). Is this her attempt at shaking the fluid? She hasn t been sleeping well and wakes up crying. she s also teething.
Hi...by what you say I feel that this could be a symptom or self satiating behaviour due to double ear infection. If she is feeding well and is not having fever and not irritable or having a normal sensorium then you need not worry. But if she is having this symptom for more than 24 hours I suggest you consult your pediatrician regarding this. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
