7 year old child has occasional dizziness
Posted , 4 users are following.
My young daughter has been complaining of a sudden dizziness which lasts a few seconds and causes her to feel like she is spinning, after she has a slight pain on her forehead which goes away. There are no other symptoms to report.
Recently she has banged her head at school, strangely we get 2 to 3 calls per month from her school informing us that she has banged her head in PE or in class, my wife and I are becoming worried that it's happening too often. After she hit her head, she was conscious each time and this time I can't see any lumps or cuts.
I can only assume that her dizziness has been caused by her banging her head too often?
if she continues to have dizziness , what should I do? I took her to the doctor this morning and she didn't say much, just said there is nothing to worry about and didn't even give me any advice or things to look out for if the problem progresses

I'm sorry your daughter is having such issues. I wish I had better advice but maybe you should have her checked by a neurologist just to be safe. It may not hurt to have her eyes checked. Good luck and hope she feels better soon

I'd say take her to another doctor for a 2nd opinion. at the end of the day you know your own daughter and if you feel like something isn't right go with your gut. id definitely take her to someone else. good luck and hope you get the right answers once and for all. nothing worse than worrying about your kids. I've a 5 yr old little boy and constantly worry about him. hope she feels better soon. x

I would seek another opinion. Doesn't seem that it would be something that a physician would so easily brush aside. It would seem that an MRI at minimum would be needed to rule out any abnormal issues.
