Is it possible to have neurological irregularities as a result of a viral infection?

My daughter started to get a cold Sunday night. I took her to the dr. Mon. AM. +3 tonils, no strep, no fever. Got home later that morning. She started to have tremors and then had a seizure about an hour later. By that point, her temp was 102. By the time we got to the ER, it was 104. Told the seizure was a result of the fever, so I wasn't too worried. Told to follow up with pediatrician, which I did the following morning. By that time, her eyes were starting to cross and she was stumbling when trying to walk. We were admitted to the hospital. MRI, Spinal Tap, EEG, blood work all normal. Seen by neurolgist. Pediatric neurologist consult said a bad viral infection could cause neurological inconsistencies and they will go away on their own. She is much better, but still suffering from minor symptoms. I'm tempted to insist that we be seen by pedicatric neurologist. HELP!

If the Paediatric neurologist consulted on your daughter's case than s/he examined your daughter's symptoms, tests, and treatments.

And the advice sounds about right. A bad viral infection can cause neurological symptoms and they usually do correct themselves. The tests ordered to rule out other causes are the correct ones to do. In my opinion if there are no other major symptoms and she has been experiencing a decrease in symptoms, I would wait a few more days, makes sure she gets plenty of rest and healthy food. Then reassess. And keep monitoring her temperature.

However, you did not mention what the minor symptoms were that your daughter is still experiencing. Regardless, if you are still concerned speak with your doctor about her continuing symptoms and ask to see the specialist. It may be worth your piece of mind.

Since your daughter was already seen by the pediatric neurologist (the consult), why are you insisting to be seen by them again?
