How to cure phobia to bugs in a child?
Patient: My 5 year old daughter has become increasingly more afraid of bugs overtime. Within the past month, the episodes have resulted in her trembling and today, hyperventilating. How do we help her through this? And how do we get her out of a hyperventilating state? Doctor: Hi...this seems to be a phobia towards insects and bugs. As it is going to the level of hyperventilating, she needs a loving talk that bugs are not dangerous and if not better please approach a psychiatrist.Hope my answer was helpful for you.
