Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a 9 year old girl, who is afraid of dogs and being alone in closed places.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thanks for this query. Your child is suffering from claustrophobia. But, it is easily treatable by exposure therapies, which is a type of counseling, and some medications in serious cases. I will suggest you visit a nearby psychiatrist for counseling and some anti-anxiety medicines like Fluoxetine or Paroxetine. Hope my answer helped you. Regards.
