Child Seeing Bees At Night? Hallucinations?

Hello ILs,

There is a weird thing happening with my child (5 yr old) last few days which is very concerning to me. Previously, when we tucked her in bed & let her go to sleep, she would nicely go to sleep. Recently, within a few minutes of tucking her in, she calls out to us saying she is seeing bees & colorful creatures everywhere in her room! We pretended to sush them away & she was ok, but again came running to our room in the middle of the night saying she is seeing them again. This has been happening for last 3-4 nights & I am very worried.

When asked her more about it, she says "it's a swarm of bees & colorful creatures flying everywhere in my room, they don't buzz or bite, I know they are pretend (not real), but they just fly everywhere & bother me". I am really scared if she doesn't grow out of it or if this is not a temp issue.

I searched on google & read that little kids have such hallucinations sometimes, but shd grow out of it. I am really worried as it's not stopping.

Pls help ladies, what to do?

 

That's a really good idea.. we will try that tonight with fake bottles.. hopefully it will help.

 

I called her pediatrician today & her nurse suggested the same thing. Will try this too. Thanks!

Interestingly when we were talking to her about it, we told her we can't see the bees at all. Dd's reply was "what if I have special eyes to see it?" I totally freaked out

 

@prestine thanks a lot for sharing that ! I am so scared, I can't say enough..

 

No buzzing sounds in room. She actually says the bees don't buzz , but just fly around & bother her..
