i hope someone can help me. My 3 year old started hallucinating about 2 months ago. The first time it happened he was kept in hospital over night. this was because he had fallen that day and banged his head. He was screaming he could see smoke, bees, spiders etc. On observation they agreed it wasnt from banging his head but to take him home and basically hope it was a once off. But a few days later we were in jewellery shop and he started screaming again that he could see a spider and that he could see my hair all over the ground. This happened every few days and he got an urgent referel to a consultant. It stopped happening as much the last 2 weeks and he saw the consultant on friday. She said they are going to refer him for an EEG but that it would be a 9 week wait. Then she said he could have a growth in his brain but try not to worry!! Obviously im terrified now whats wrong with my son! She said she doesnt want to expose him to the radiation of a brain scan unless she feels necessary. How am i meant to wait 9 weeks after her scaring me and saying he could have a growth in his brain! I said to her surely if it was something serious like that surely hed have other symptoms and she said no some kids dont :( Im terrified now that my child could have a brain tumour or somethibg serious. Doesnt help that i google everything. I dont know if anyone can help me or has experienced this. Id be most grateful with any responses
