Dd (2.5) was at the doctors yesterday with suspected tonsillitis and got antibiotics. She's been spiking temperatures and just generally out of sorts. Today she had a nap on the sofa. She woke up screaming, extremely distressed and began crawling towards me. I reached out thinking she wanted a hug but she began to hit/scratch my face whilst screaming. I'm doing my best to reassure her but she's going berserk. I hold her close to me but she's still trying to lash out so I placed her on the ground and she kept climbing back on the sofa to scratch my face. This goes on for about 5 minutes then she just lies down for a cuddle. She did go though a phase of tantrums a few months ago but it was always in response to something. This was completely out of the blue. She had paracetamol before her nap so no temp, but she's obviously off colour still. Could this episode have been a night terror? She seemed completely awake during it but it was disconcerting how angry she was.
