10 Early Warning Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis in Children

3. Balance

As that multiple sclerosis can interrupt the signals that run between the spinal cord and the brain, this could definitely affect a child’s balance. This imbalance may also lead to benign positional vertigo, which is an issue with the inner ear that leads to vertigo. This may lead to feelings of dizziness and a definite increase in overall balance. A person might feel extremely dizzy when going up and down steps or when standing on a curb. A child may also become overly clumsy for no apparent reason. If these symptoms occur, it is best to try to note their progression, consulting a doctor if they do not lessen over time.
