How do doctors treat dyssomnias in children?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Differential is long: You need to see your pediatrician, and ideally, a pediatric sleep specialist. The differential diagnosis is long. The treatment tends to fall in to one of two broad categories (or a combination of both): psychological (cognitive-behavioral) and pharmacological. Most important thing is to find a pediatric sleep specialist to further evaluate.
