Our 7 yr old dd gets delirious when she overheats at night, either through temperature or just getting too hot. It is pretty scary because she is clearly not herself, and I would even describe her as not in her right mind - not responding to us, looking right through us, talking nonsensically, eyes wide and screaming intermittantly. (sorry for bad spelling). This goes on for 5-10 minutes, and has happened maybe 10 times in her life.
We get her out of it eventually by sponging her down and waking her up completely. She never remembers it in the morning. She is relatively highly strung as a personality, and is quite sensitive, sometimes I worry a little about her future mental health.
Has anyone else experienced this? How do you approach it? Am I worrying needlessly? Have you ever spoken to a GP about it?
TIA
