Preventive examinations by a neurologist should not be neglected, because neurological problems cannot always be noticed in everyday life. Remember, it is better to prevent the disease than to treat the consequences.
A neurologist examination is recommended:
— up to a year, your pediatrician adjusts the frequency of the neurologist's examination, most often — 1, 3, 6 months
— then prophylactically in 1, 3, 6 years
— in case of concern among parents or upon referral from a pediatrician.
The frequency of a child's examination by a neurologist directly depends on the anamnesis — the condition at the time of birth, previous illnesses and many other important medical facts.
When to contact a specialist:
— frequent headaches in a child
— episodes of dizziness or loss of consciousness
— restless sleep, frequent awakenings, crying for no reason
— tics or involuntary contractions of the muscles of the body or face
— violation of coordination, stuttering, lag in development compared to peers.
