tremors?

My 4 year daughter has been shaking. The dr. called them tremors. On Thursday the daycare called concerned because she couldn't barely hold a pencil and they thought they saw involuntary twitches as well.

She has been under a dr.s care for 3 months being treating for a fight with asthma/pneumonia (2 cases this fall) and revurrent viral infections. She has been on many medicaations but the dr. does not think they are the cuulprit. She was on( on and off during the last month) albuteral, pulmicort, singular, biaxin, liquid steroids twice, biaxin for the past37 days.

She has not had anything since last weekend but the antibiotic and singular. I am so concerned we are missing somethingg. She was shaking all day Thursday and woke up today with it.


BtW she had bloodwork-- came back ok...we have diabetesin the family wanted to check blood sugar.

Re: tremors?

What about a ct scan or something to check her brain for abnormalities? If the doctor doesn't think it's caused by meds than what does he think it is caused by?

Re: tremors?

Well she did the quickie Neuro checks in her office and didn't see anything that raised a red flag. She honestly didn't know what is causing it. Everything I've been able to find on tremor(not much esp in children) is very passive, not to worry type thing.

Re: tremors?

Well Salbutamol would do it as would the oral steroid. The oral steroid would do it if she was not tapered off them. However if she has been off them for over a week, I would suspect the Singulair. My son (5) was on Singulair for a week, and he had fitful sleeps, nightmares, and tremors during the day. I took him off them, and within 2 days, he was fine. I would take her off all meds (check with doc). My son is on flovent 2 puffs a day, and salbutamol as needed and he does not have any reaction to any of them, unless he has to have the salbutamol more than twice a day, then he gets real hyper. Everyone reacts differently to meds. Take her back to the doc. This is not normal. Be persistant.

Re: tremors?

She has been on the singular daily since August. Do you think it could cause it after all this time?
