Tantrums after hospital in a child Good afternoon! Daughter 2.10 years old. After vaccinations from December 2015 to February 2016 (once a month) and 1 week spent in the hospital. She was given injections and put on IVs for 3 days. Then, seeing IVs and nurses, she began to have a slight tremor. Already at home, the daughter did not out of nowhere, she began to cry, scream in a voice that was not her own, fight, throw everything that came to hand, lasting up to 30 minutes from 1-2 times a day, or at the slightest refusal. It happens that hysteria begins in the morning, like as soon as he opens his eyes (this happened 2 times). The pediatrician recommended contacting a neurologist (Such attacks will not go away without a trace and just won’t go away). Please tell me what to do? And how to treat? Psychologist Irina Savenkova: These look like signs of post-traumatic stress disorder. This often happens when any person, against the background of the procedures being carried out, experiences a feeling of helplessness and the inability to escape or fight. The trembling you describe could well be the very moment of release of pent-up energy in the body (they weren’t allowed to run, they didn’t fight, and the impulse wasn’t realized). The fact that your child is raging is good. It would be worse if he went into a freeze and froze. And so the body itself returns it to normal. How can you help here? Play with him in the hospital, play with each other, play with plush toys (like bunnies giving injections to elephants). Play out the situations your baby has found himself in. Don't be scared if he wants to fight, let him run away from the doctor if he wants to. It is important to offer such games and simply accompany the baby, allowing him to continue the game as he wants. All the best. Write.
