Children cannot put pain into words, so it shows as fussiness, changed sleep, less activity, or avoiding a particular posture. That does not mean a child without symptoms must be treated — if it is not needed, we will say let us watch and wait. A blow to the head, vomiting or listlessness needs emergency care immediately.

Q. My child is afraid of riding in cars now.

A.

This is post-traumatic anxiety — Korean medicine can help with both physical and psychological symptoms.

📝 Detailed Answer

Post-traumatic anxiety in children after accidents is common: ① fear of cars/driving, ② nightmares, sleep disturbance, ③ irritability, withdrawal, ④ physical symptoms (stomachache, headache), ⑤ regression behaviors. Korean medicine support: ① calming herbs (Cheonwangbosim-dan, Sijo-soyo-san), ② acupuncture for anxiety (HT7, PC6, GV20), ③ supportive counseling. Auto insurance can cover psychological aspects when documented. Most children improve gradually with patience and supportive environment. Severe cases need pediatric psychology referral.
