Guide To The Symptoms Of Reye's Syndrome
Disorientation Or Hallucinations

Disorientation, confusion, and hallucinations are neurological symptoms that may occur because of the swelling in the brain. These are severe symptoms that need emergency treatment. A child experiencing disorientation may forget where they are, what they're doing, or who they're speaking to in a manner beyond normal absentmindedness. They may be confused about what's happening around them, struggle to follow a line of conversation, or have trouble communicating. Hallucinations involve seeing or hearing things that aren't there, or experiencing other sensations that aren't happening. These experiences are caused by the brain failing to accurately interpret information about the outside world. If the affected child doesn't receive emergency treatment, neurological symptoms can lead to permanent brain injury or even death.
