Children's neurologist in Poltava

When to show a child to a neurologist?

Nervous system damage in childhood can lead to undesirable consequences: cerebral edema, intracranial hypertension, cerebral stroke, muscle tissue atrophy, deafness and blindness, impaired mental development. You need to visit a neurologist if the child:

• convulsive attacks;
• nervous tick;
• dizziness;
• fainting;
• involuntary urination;
• inability to concentrate;
• mental retardation;
• restless sleep.

Consultation by a neurologist for infants is mandatory since at this time the central nervous system continues to form and the doctor evaluates the normal development of all nervous structures. In adolescence, a rapid growth spurt can be observed, for which the musculoskeletal system does not keep up – subsequently, impaction, increased fatigue, general weakness appear, and children of transitional age often experience stress. If symptoms of damage to the nervous system appear, you need to make an appointment with a neurologist for a teenager.
