What causes headache, shaking and dizziness in a 8 year old?
Patient: My daughter is 8 year old and plays soccer.2 days ago, she was tripped during the game and landed on her face, causing a bloody nose. After getting the bleeding to stop she was ready to play again, and did fine the rest of the day. The next day she complained of headache, feeling shakey, dizzy at times,and lack of appetite, plus she had a low grade fever. With motrin, the fever reduces, and then she is able to eat a little something. Are her symptoms and the accident at soccer related? Doctor: Hi,Very good question, an the answer is could be. She needs a check up because she could get some silent traumas in her face. There is a sinusitis that can be a result of some accidents and the symptoms are like you describe. Hope this will be helpful.
