If your daughter is experiencing sleep issues that persist or are affecting her daily life, it’s advisable to consult a doctor. A healthcare provider can evaluate her symptoms, identify any underlying causes, and recommend appropriate treatments or therapies.
Yes
Seeking medical guidance is the best next step, however choosing the type of doctor is the tricky part. Addressing or finding out the root cause is the most important part of this journey to ensure proper treatment. Is it stress or anxiety (behavioral health), is it sleep apnea (ENT), etc.? Starting with the Pediatrician that knows her best to help discern a working differential diagnosis will most likely offer the best outcome.
Yes if it persists.
